Pearl white 370z bumper paint chip

Bubbaloo · 05-30-2018, 05:14 PM

Sigh. 2018 three weeks old. First paint chip. Are these “Nissan factory paint match ups” bottles any good?

See below. So frustrated. It’s just that I haven’t even made my first car payment yet!!! Geez.

Nissan paint sucks. I'd recommend a clear bra

The touch up paint sucks because no pearl, but it'll be better than nothing. Especially once under a clear bra its hard to tell, which I'd strongly suggest doing. It'll protect your headlights and drl's as well, which pays for itself.

Hmm. The 3M one? I want to see if I can get it locally and installed. We’ll see. Is it easy to install yourself?

Get a pro to install it for you.

Yeah. I’m trying to find a local installer. Only thing I want is the front bumper as it is plastic and more prone to paint chipping than the rest of the car.

Find a Suntek installer. It's a better product.

Heavy sigh. The paint color code is in at least six places on every Nissan. Google is your friend.

Lol. So with this thing. I saw a video. Are you painting around the area as well? When the solution clears does the touch up paint only cover the paint chip or is it also leaving some paint around the paint chip itself?
