Paint Issues

I've had my car for a little longer than a month now. And im finding these little circles approx this size ---> 0 except its a little bigger and the rings of these circles are missing paint. After inspecting my car I have discovered 4 of them and each circle happened at different times.
I found the first two and inspected my car and shrugged it off. Then 2 weeks later i find one more cirlce then 3 days later i find one more. My car is garage kept. Anyone have any ideas what I should do about this?

^+1 especially if most of the dings are on the front of your ride. My wife's Formal Black MDX has a ton of those as she did a lot highway driving through construction. Maybe some pics would help shed more light on the situation?

Unbelieveable...rock chips...they should really improve their paint quality then.
I have an 04 Volvo S60 not a single chip or scratch from anything
An 02 Acura Rsx only scratches from people dinging the door
06 Bmw 3 series, flawless paint
08 Bmw 5 series flawless paint
08 Infiniti....4 chips and its only 5 weeks old.

Looks like a horrid water spot from the picture, especially considering the location, it would be tough to get a rock chip on your pillar or trunk lid.

Exactly what im thinking...rock chips on my trunk and rear pillar dont make much sense to me...and the fact there is a center of paint still there on my circles is what really puzzles me.

My suggestion, call Infiniti Customer service hot line, let them know you have paint peeling on the trunk lid and pillar. Tell them how disappointed you are and worried about the purchase of this new car. They will set you up with an appointment at a local dealership and most likely fix it free of charge IF those really are not rock chips or abuse from some haters.

I had the same paint peeling issue on my front bumper, called infiniti and they repainted the whole bumper free of charge.
