General Motors promises to fix paint on future Corvettes C7 Stingray and Z06 but the math does not add up...WTF GM?

This shitty paint on the latest generation of Corvette is a well established axiom, reaming the +General Motors failed attempt at creating a "revolutionary supercar" on a shoestring budget right in its atrocious butt, without not just not developing suitable technologies in concert with the premise of these cars (replacing this part with off the shelf corporate shopping and making unsuitable elements fit anyway) but even putting a serious thought into the whole venture.

As a result, the newest generation of Corvette is a true piece of shit, incapable to deliver on performance promised through corporate advertising interlaced with the typical chest thumping demonstrated by the idiot in charge of the latest and greatest Corvette, +Tadge Juechter .  To compliment the mechanical disaster, there is of course the truly awful fit and finish aspect of the newest generation that cements its failure designation.

Supposedly, the car is a failure and very comprehensive corporate cluster fuck all around due to limited budget, cut down to 250 million spend on R&D (does this include the multiple trips to Nurburgring and Mero's hefty cheeseburger tab?).  To be fair, considering all the flaws the newest Corvette platform carries and spreads to other GM cars (CTS V and Camaro), the entire bullshit development was severely overfunded but still, nevertheless...

Here is a very curious thing, a new paint facility going up in Bowling Green that ALLEGEDLY will fix all the paint problems plaguing the Corvette.  The cost of this new facility is a hefty 400 millions.

Until now, nobody at GM has admitted to the horrible paint on the newest Corvette and in fact, anyone trying to file a warranty claim against the roller style application of paint on their fine ride receives the uniform response from GM customer service: WITHIN ACCEPTABLE QUALITY-CLAIM DENIED.  So what is GM fixing exactly?  If there is no problem with the paint, why brag about the upcoming improvements to the paint finish and fix what is supposedly not broken in the first place?

As described in this blog in the past, the problem is not just the sloppy UAW sponsored paint application (did UAW finally force the robots to pay the dues as well?) but even more so with the new body panel materials that are both extremely wavy and POROUS as well, no paint shop alone can ever fix this part that somehow was not taken into consideration while budgeting for R&D...

And the really funny part, the math... 180 million for the ENTIRE Bowling Green plant upgrade vs. 250 million for Corvette C7 R&D vs. 400 million for PAINT SHOP construction... Really?

Now, since Juechter and his crew seem to be bragging about the new paint shop and upcoming paint quality improvements, will GM offer free repaints to the the current owners or will they be sent to the TOUGH SHIT line, waiting for their cars to depreciate even more than they already do on the account of the mechanical problems?

Here is an idea, why not repaint and replace the current LT4's at the same time?  Oh yeah, there is nothing available currently that works...
