Holden Commodore 2014: Bubbles in paint

I have just bought my daughter a new 2014 Holden SV6 Storm. Since day one we have noticed little bubbles in the paint all over the car. The dealer and a Holden representative inspected it and told us the whole car needs to be re-sprayed. Being that this is still brand new and has done just over 1000 km I asked if they could replace this with a new car, but they said no and want to re-spray it. I don't want this new car to get re-sprayed. What are your thoughts?

I would prefer to get another car rather than have it re-sprayed. I don't normally agree that cars should be replaced rather than repaired, but yours is so new I think it is warranted. It's a pity that you didn't spot the bubbles before you accepted it, it would have been much easier to swap had you refused to take delivery of it in the first place
