So we had an issue with our paint. My guess is that this is a one-off situation but others may see something similar.
Our Ascent has Ruby paint. We didn't notice it right away because the problem disappears in shadow or overcast skies. In full sun or bright light we could clearly see an area approximately 4 inches by 5 inches where the paint appeared to be white underneath. Even the dealer had no idea how it happened. From some angles it even nearly vanished in full sun.
The first time I saw it, thought it was just a reflection of light from somewhere.
My local dealership was sympathetic and put us in a loaner Forester and had the hood re-sprayed. After two days we had our baby back and the paint looks PERFECT. So, well done Subaru. Still not sure what caused it but it looks good now.
