Had some issues on the paint job - on the metal below all the four doors the paint had multiple eruptions. However the executives claimed it was a 'matt finish(!)', showed similar stuff on the demo diesel dzire, claimed that all new Swifts also had it; the small eruption like stuff was apparently deliberately done and helps in keeping off the dust. Could not beleive a word of what they said (probably due to my limited knowledge) but the alternative was to stop the registration and wait for the next batch of DZires for which I did not have the time. Also according to the dealer the next batch was not going to be any different. Took pictures of the 'eruptions' on the demo car. Will post it soon.
Congrats on the car! Yes, the so called 'eruptions' in the lower body is designed to keep off dust (or other purposes). It is there in my SX4 too. But it have a thick plastic coating above the erruption (or matte finish ).
