Kia Cerato 2018: Faint red specks on white paint

Asked by Josh

I recently purchased a 2018 Kia Cerato Sports Plus, with pearl white paint. We noticed the paint is covered in very small and faint red specks, you can feel them under your nail. Kia offered to buff the car to try and remove them during the complementary check. However, when walking out of the dealership I noticed the other cars with pearl white paint also have the same red specks. Is this intentional paint design from Kia?

I doubt that it is intentional, particularly as they’ve offered to try and buff it out for you.
