It could have paintwork from the factory. This is 1 of the reasons I didn't take the 23 widebody charger.

That I agree with. The car was fine when I bought it, month later had that little spot where the paint cracked

its just in a place that sees movement between the tail light and the bumper. Tail lights are only held in with 2 push clips

I would get rid of the rust, seal it up and put something to keep the surfaces from contacting. Just saying.

It looks like as little too much painted over seam sealer on that on the corner that cracked. I would just let the dealer fix it and touch it up. It should be warranty right?

I’m not overly concerned about it. Was just hoping all the paint issue complaints were just over exaggerated
