Yep, just got the news. It's the original paint, but they said it looks like someone threw bleach or something on it and the damage became much more noticeable after it got wet. It's all the way down into the paint. I'm seriously pissed as I drive slow (below the ridiculously low speed limit) through my neighborhood (or any neighborhood) unlike most of the people that live there. The only thing I've done is own a Porsche.
