Modern Foresters are being rushed through forced-overtime production in Japan, so miscellaneous problems have been higher than domestic production in Indiana. Subarus are painted by robots, but orange-peel is pretty common.

Super thin paint is the norm these days. For cars built in the US this is an EPA mandate.

Maybe JDM rushes paint because of bottlenecks? Also, red (and yellow) pigments are the most expensive, so maybe thinner?
