I find it difficult to believe that this happened unnoticed at a dealer.

Damn, I don't think ive ever seen that on a customers car before.

Only reason why I'd see that happen is a reallllly quick temperature change. Maybe engine fluids dropping on hood? I dont see how they'd get there though or how the owner never saw it in the first place

its not a fluids on the paint issue, you would see run lines if that was the case

it looks like crazing = paint failure and separation

only thing to do is repaint it

might have been a shitty, fast repaint for whatever reason prior to pickup

Interesting, might be worth him checking the car for overspray if they tried to cover something up by repainting. that's crazy though def wish him luck.

Holy shit that's horrible. Let us know what happens with it.

Best bet is to get a detailer to evaluate the paint with a PTG to see if the hood has indeed been repainted. If it hasn't I would go raise hell at the dealership.
On a side note, I have seen another car like this, it was due to poor prepping and bad curing time of the paint.

I have a small spot on my hood like that. Prior to me buying it, someone had resprayed the hood and front bumper cover. It was not a great job so I am inclined to believe the OP's problem is not the fault of the dealer but rather a poor prep job.
