Fading paint on SS Commodore

THE PAINT on the top of both door mirrors on my black 2008 VE SS Commodore ute is fading. My dealer told me that as I live in Nth Qld, it's to be "expected" for this to occur. The ute has only done 19,000 km and is still under warranty, so I was surprised to get that response. Doesn't the warranty cover paint and paint defects?

The paint would only be covered by the warranty if was defective in some way from the factory, normal wear and tear wouldn't be covered. But to have it visibly fading after just two years is not acceptable and I would certainly press the dealer, and Holden, to repair it. For the dealer to say it's expected is even more unacceptable. We've approached Holden for their view and will print it when we get it.
