So do you know if it's already been painted? If so, yes the paint warranty will lie with whoever repaired it. If it hasn't been painted then its Renault's problem. They'll take it to a bodyshop and check for overspray, etc. and if that's the case, speak to Arnold Clark - who Renault UK should be able bollock anyway.

Bummer mate. Well either Arnold Clark had it repaired when it was delivered to them (didn't you have to wait a while to collect it?) or the shipping people got it repaired. Either way it's not on and they should've told you, in which case I'd have probably point blank refused to take the car.

It will have been painted at the docks, trust me. If your not allready, sign up to Renaultsport.co.uk. There was a Meggy R26 that was damaged in transit (remember they come on a big boat!). Got repaired at the docks, guy picked up the car, didnt noticed it was missing a sticker on the door. Never thought anything of it, took it away. Then whilst cleaning it few weeks later found overspray on the inner wheelarch trim. Kicked off big time, massive thread on it!

well i went to renault today as it was dry and my car was clean
the guy from renault when looked at it as close as i did noticed it was painted. said he couldnt put the warranty claim through as it would just get knocked back
said he has washed his hands of it and i have to take it to back arnold clark and let them deal with it.if they think it should get done under warranty grt them to take it too their renault branch in paisley and let them put the warranty claim through
doing my head in, so arnold clark tomorrow see wat they say? any more grief ther'll be an evo x on the ive soon i think
i doesnt bother me the fact the car has been painted its not always a bad thing, just when its been done by some clown

It's not Renault's fault. It left the factory fine as far as their concerned. The minute something is touched by someone else it's void. That paint isn't their paint, they're well within their rights to advise you as they have.
You need to take it up with Arnold Clark - speak to the person you dealt with when purchasing it at the dealers. The quicker the better, as they could say you've done it. They're likely to know if it's been damaged. Or they'll need to tell you who their import company was, etc.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, AC (with a little bit of pressure on the transporters - if it was their fault) should be able to find out what happened to it. Or at least have the decency to tell you if something happened to it whilst in their showroom.
Ring them/see them tomorrow and let us know the outcome. I'll try and help all I can with advice, etc. on getting them to do something about it for you.

gary, mine is to go to parks in ek to be inspected due to issues with my 200's paintwork, i have been getting shite from parks and ruk but ended up e-mailing guy on renaultsport website david who has got matter moving, would suggest doing same
i got albi blue, its a swirl bus tbh, light scratching over front bumper, uneven paint on front bumper with speckles of primer showing through.
main issue is passenger door, starting at passenger wing over door you can see in bright light its had a going over with say a rotary polisher, i have been asking why has a new car been done with a rotary polisher and badly but no one will admit to doing any work on car.
it was parks in ayr

the 200 for me is the most fuel efficient car ever owned, filled it up full tank 6 weeks ago and still got a full tank...admittedly it hasnt moved in 5 weeks
