I was going to say that if used you should check every panle very close to see if the orange peel matches threwout the car. Also to see if there might be any clear runs and or other defects in the paint. Just tells you if anything has ever been painted if you know what to look for, which perhaps means an accident may have occured.
Even on a new car, things get painted before being sold sometimes. I have a friend who runs a very nice body shop and he gets BRAND NEW cars from dealerships in all the time to repaint or even replace fenders or other parts of the car where damage has occured. Weather it was damaged in shippment, just scratches, or a bumper compleatly ruined, who knows.
Should also check to see if all gaps line up properly.
Annnnnyways, seeing how I was too late with that, have fun and enjoy the new car!
