Dealer thinks this was done by Honda at the port of entry but I'm waiting for verification of this claim. Final resolution with dealer has yet to be reached but a warning to other buyers. Apparently, Honda will do this on new cars that get damaged and if it's less than $500, they don't even tell the dealer. I'm still hot under the collar but hopeful that dealer will extend warranty on the paint job or take other measures to my satisfaction.
I spent a number of years working at a plant for one of the big 3. ALL manufacturers have repair shops in the plants, and minor fixes are done there. Nicks and dings happen all the time. As long as it is done right, and at the plant, they usually are no problem.
