My 2 cents:
I had a '00 MB that had to have the rear bumper fascia and the left front fender repainted as a result of minor traffic crashes. In both instances the match was perfect. It was painted both times by a local favorite body shop. Properly applied the repaint should fix the problem.
I know I would be very disappointed if this was happening to me, but I think you have to be a realist. I can't believe if this issue went to some type of mediation or court that Honda would be required to replace a $28,000 van because of a cosmetic flaw. Paint happens!
I suggest letting them repaint the hood and if it matches, like it should, let bygones be bygones. Relax and enjoy your new van. These things are made by man, they're not going to be perfect.
