Overspray under hood normal??

[celi7g]

Hey I just noticed on most Celi GTS & GT's that there appears to be some overspray when you prop open the hood (not on the top or bottom of the hood itself). Usually it's most apparent around the strut tower and just below the the hoodline around the engine bay. Both new and used cars are like this, although it's more noticeable sometimes on the darker colors like carbon blue, spec blue or black. What is this?? Is it a primer or paint possibly? I always though overspray meant an accident area which had been repaired or repainted.

WHOA! Hold the phone. Check to see if there is overspray on those little rubber gromet thingies under the hood...you know, there are 2 (one on each side) attached to the underside of the hood right up front. If there is, your car has been repainted (at least the hood has). There really shouldn't be much overspray at all (if any)!
