dude, that sucks. i've never had a brand new paint job, but i'm as protective over my 10 year old paint job as i would be on a new one. it's all that i got so i try to take as best care of it as possible. i'm still the guy parking in the big parking spots where only one car can park on the side of you. it's definitely kept me away from the dings. i started after i got a big ding that cracked the paint.
