The dealership took my Z due to a chip in the hood, and had it touched up and had the whole hood re-cleared. End result is you'd never know it was there.

In your case, a proper sanding and new clear, would likely fix it, or if they need to go down to primer to fix it, then so be it. One way or another they'll have to fix it, just for the dealership, it might be cheaper to offer a new car to you instead, rather than fix it due to profit-losses on repairing something like this.
I think this is the approach I am going to take. If they only need to do a wetsand + new clear coat, then I would accept that solution, but I definitely won't accept a repainting.

When I talk to them today, I'll just let my expectations be known, and push hard on getting someone to properly diagnose what is wrong, and what their solution would be to fix it.
