Default what to do Bad Paint?

I picked up my 2010 SI 3 days ago and it was a overcast day I did not see that the paint on all most the entire was orange peeled. Can I take this back to them? will they do something for me? or do i have to live with it?

it's normal for factory paint to have a degree of orange peel.

some dealerships will fix "paint flaws" within the first two weeks of purchase, obviously the sooner the better. you might see if your dealership will do this. it is well known that the paint on our cars sucks so it might be hard to get them to do it.
