I am not sure I would put the 'lack of paint' in those areas down to "quality" issues, IIRC they are painted by robot and I would say it is a 'decision' not to paint that area.
Tougher to tell on a Chalk body, but they chose not to paint that area behind the frunk.
Exactly. Not a "quality issue". They simply don't paint under the plastic cover that is under a hood, that you never see... doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Why'd they chose to paint the Zuffenhausen cars then? Makes you wonder.

Some bean counter somewhere figured out they could save $10 a paint job. Either way, it's immaterial to me. I am more concerned with quality issues I can see, i.e., missing options or race tex where there should be leather.

Someone just posted a picture of a Spyder Zuff that is not painted
I didn't even notice that there's less paint in that part that is under plastic...I couldn't care less
The important lack of "quality" is the same from both ...****ty geometries, ****ty brake pads, ****ty brake fluid and no SS lines. Those ones I do care
FYI here's another difference between the Zuff factory 4RS's and the ones coming out of Osnabrueck. Right is a Zuff car that has the frunk area painted while the left is a "raw" finish from Osnabrueck. I bet there's other "quality" differences.
I hesitated to even respond to this but since folks seem wound up by it, that is overspray from the painting process. It is hit-and-miss across cars regardless of where they are manufactured. My 911 (Zuffenhausen) has overspray in the same area. Point is, they are not intentionally painting the frunk area. If they were, then based on these photos it would be considered the shoddiest paintwork imaginable.
Good point Jayson, if anything the non-painted looks cleaner since you're not seeing the gradations of overspray. Even if Phil's picture of the blue car above, you can see the gradation around the shock tower. I don't have any skin in this game, but seems like worrying about which factory the car was made in is not worth the anxiety. It's more about whether your personal car has exhibited issues or not.
