I have a couple of small clear coat bubbles on the rear bumper. The body shop manager suggested not to repaint, even though I could request for a repaint under warranty. He said the heat caused the clear coat to bubble and that it could settle with cooler temperatures. I don't know if he was BSing me but he said it's hard to match factory paint jobs and he also said that they would probably have to repaint the rear bumper a couple of times before I would be satisfied. I'm still thinking about it because it's not noticeable, it's way down the rear bumper just in front the rear tire on the driver's side. You'd have to know where it is to see it. Has anyone noticed the clear coat and paint on the 370Zs are relatively soft? I was detailing my car the other day and I accidently put too much pressure on the paint and it left a "scratch" mark with the cloth. Of course I should have not have used my finger nail to detail the tight spot but used an old toothbrush instead. Lesson learned ... the hard way.
