Definitely show your dealer. They should fix that.I was waxing the jeep today, and never noticed this. Seems to be some weird splattered paint (or lack thereof) around the rear tailgate door hinge and the bolt. Almost like the sprayer got lazy and didn’t cover it all? Anyone see this before? I circled the stuff in red.
It’s not that noticeable unless you’re right up close, but yeah I may show them next time I’m in. But then again do I trust them to repaint it?
Unless I am mistaken, Jeeps are painted by automated equipment...I was waxing the jeep today, and never noticed this.

Well, it's not like they're going to fuck it up worse. Plus, they outsource for body work.
This. I had the same on mine right off the lot. I even had minor paint chipping on tailgate hinge where the tolerance was too tight for the paint thickness. They were going to need to replace both hinges, repaint the whole tailgate and blend it to the rest of the body. I bailed at the 11th hour, I didn’t have any reassurance or confidence that they would fix the issue without creating others that my OCD ass would find. Ultimately, the body is aluminum, hinge is magnesium, no rust so no biggie. I honestly don’t even notice them now unless I’m actively looking for them.
Nice haha. And if you look at all the other hinges on the jeep you can tell they sprayed it with hinges/doors in place. Because there’s a hairline of primer (or bare metal, not sure but it’s light colored) between the hinge and the door. Def hardly noticeable but you’d think they would angle the sprayers more to get it perfect.
