No air bubbles but dust specs.
truly poor quality control and paint. I know someone on the forum stated that it is an old paint facility.
not a excuse for a $50k+ truck.

I believe paint issues can be lemon lawed

Paint is only covered for 3 years or 36K miles, whichever comes first.
Not to diminish the issue, since it shouldn't be excused regardless. But I haven't bought a new car in the last 20 years that didn't have some sort of paint imperfection, usually a small particle that got stuck during the paint process, which causes a small (usually round) imperfection you can see if you look closely on top of the clear. I can usually find 3-5 of these per vehicle.
Sometime they are just on the very surface of the clear and can easily be buffed out. I had what looked like a big paint drip on a door edge on one of my F150s that looked like it was under the paint, turns out it was just excessive clear and easily buffed out.
If your dealer is cool, maybe worth a try even though you mileaged out of the warranty already.
