I have owned 2 other Honda's prior to this. the last one being a Civic. my 14K mile 2022 has more paint chips already than my 120K mile Civic. the paint is horrendous on these new Civics. I love my car, but the crap paint is turning me off of Honda very quickly.
 
Could you enlighten me on what a "correct" paint job should be? What mills are you looking for? What type of paint should be used? Do we have a degas time target we should be aware of? Is there a certain spec of e-sealer we should be aware of? How about flash time? What are these reference points you're using as to what should be a "valid" paint job regardless of price for a car.....I'll wait. Gotta take notes on what a "professional" might be doing different adhering to federal laws and stipulations but go ahead I'm willing to listen đź‘‚
The paint job sucks. It is bad. Period.
