The car should have never been delivered to you in that state.
I had a paint defect that the dealer kept playing games on and Nissan consumer affairs got results in about 5 days.
Bottom line is that if they repaint the car it needs to remove all the exterior windows , and trim , lights grills removed to paint it properly, otherwise you will have paint transition lines all over the body of the car.
If you allow them to paint the car it will never be the same. my sister had the same problem as you on an old Pontiac in the 80's and the dealer repainted the whole car due to a problem matching the color, after painting it you could see paint on all the trim , windows , moldings and even areas where they painted over dirt.
Bottom line use the lemon law in your state if available , file case with your state attorney generals office, contact Nissan consumer affairs, and possibly a lawyer.

It really would've been better if you didn't accept delivery, but honestly, I wouldn't want them to paint my brand new car. And it should cost $8-10k to repaint a WHOLE car to do it right and for people to not be able to tell.
Take the doors OFF, take the hatch off, take the hood off, take the plastic door trim pieces off, take the gas cap and bumpers off, maybe even the fenders.
Make sure people like ME cannot tell its been painted due to ANY paint lines and stuff. And if they DO end up repainting it, make sure they let every layer of paint dry, make sure they don't let the car out of the paint booth at all so that there isn't any dust, and have them do a FEW layers of clear
