no need for pix, just take a look at your panels and where they meet, on mine you can visibly SEE the paint bulging upwards away from the car. Its slight, but its there. Ive also noticed on my trunk lid, where the taillights are, its also too tight. But theres nothing we can do about it, i mean unless it really starts chipping and peeling before the 30k warranty is up..

do any of these cars with paint problems have a build date of 07/06?
Honda Canada had paint problems in July due to the High Humidity.

I bought mine in April so this goes deeper than that.

I'd bring it back! My front and rear bumper were repainted at the factory and I brought it back because I could see primer by where the fog lights go. That is unacceptable and they WILL fix it!

Bring it to the dealer and take pictures for proof for later problems before it rusts.

Mine is the same way. I can see grayish color where the lower grill and the paint meet. Also at the foglamps.
