you're SOL. not sure what causes it but mine was doing the same thing when i bought it over a year ago. i noticed it on the dealer's lot and he agreed to repaint the car for me before i took it home. didn't charge for it, i'm sure they got paid on the back end though. i bought the car with 38k miles on it, and when i pulled an oasis report i noticed he punched in that the car had 35k miles on it when the repaint was done. hmm... o well.
It is called warranty work, the dealer had to get it under 36k for it to be done under the factory warranty. Same thing happened to my when I had 37k, I took in the Contour and they entered it in as 35k, then they did the repaint.
