For those of you with the garage queen all original paint on 1995 model cars ESPECIALLY WHITE ONES, please look around the front fog/driving light area where the factory paint (whether it be white or other color) meets the black area around the entire fog lamp assembly. Is the paint edge perfectly straight with NO overspray from the main car color onto the glossy black paint around the fog/turn lamp assembly. Even better, for those of you that can do this easily, please post or email close up pictures of the area to corvette95@charter.net (corvette95@charter.net) .I just bought a 8,000 mile 95 via the telephone, had it inspected and certified no paintwork, got the car today and there is bad overspray on the black area around the light. I need to know if this is within tolerance of GM or it HAS been repainted. Thank you for the help!
Here is an example:

I will hopefully see a friends 94 on Monday, but I do not remember seeing what you describe in the past. Mine is a 90 and I have no such issue, but I will let you know if I see my friends car this week.

Any other pictures?

That is a repaint for sure.

If oyu find body colored paint on any surface other than the body, If its on anything that attaches to the body like the lights then it has been repainted at some point.
