Personally, I think the only issue with the paint is one all cars now share: the solvents are out and the water is in. When you have a new vehicle and the paint gets chipped up it sucks, and the Internet gives us ample opportunity to moan about how much it sucks.
For my part, I'm scheduled to get 3M film placed on the vulnerable parts this Wed. Till then I am keeping it off the highway.

Water based paints require much less attention from OSHA and the like, not to mention ventilation costs, and other protective gear for the painters. From a bottom line standpoint it makes much more sense.
(I'm not saying it's right)
To each his own, but I irreversibly pinstriped my Black Diamond a week after buying it new. My wife asked if I was going to get it fixed. I told her that I didn't see the point if it was going to happen at least twice a month.
I think the Rav4 is Toyotas answer to non pinstriping paint. I never see pinstripes on those.
