I had the same issue with paint on the bumper of my UK Accord. Had a word with the dealer, and they replaced it free of charge without hesitation. This could in part be due to the high quality of most Honda dealers in the UK, but I also suspect they are well used to moans about the paint jobs!

I have a silver 2000 Accord cpe. At best, the paint job is crappy. I had to get touch-up paint to cover the big chips to keep rust from forming on the hood--nevermind trying to keep the paint job pristine. I gave up on front bumper. For comparison, my father's '97 Toyota Avalon white paint job, although 3 years older, is still brilliant.

I agree with the poor paint job.
I have a white accord and the bumper started yellowing after one month I bought the car. I bought a brand new 2000 in early march of 2000. the mileage on my car was 7miles.
