370Z/Black/Swirls
 
Have heard that the 370Z has self-healing paint. Dunno if that was a snipe-hunt thread or not. I do know the technology exists, but is it on the US-bound '12 black 370Z's? Does it actually work? Would love black, won't tolerate sworls or the 4-6 hours a week it takes to own a black car.

Not sure about the 2012 Z's, but my 09' Black Z is a swirl queen. I doubt they did anything to the paint on the new Z's. My Z is definitely NOT self healing.

Actually, I think it cuts itself when I'm not looking ;(

Self destroying paint sure...healing? I think no on that one. I'm afraid to even look at the paint.

*sigh*
Really digging the camel fur colored interior.
Black and white are the only exterior colors it is offered with, and after owning my 'vette, I'm done with white.
*frustration*

Meh. Wish it were offered in more than white or black exterior.

The black is not much worse than the other colors if you take care of it, at least from what I've seen.



I know jeffblue and zcarman have/had pretty much swirl free cars.


And if you want persimmon, black is the way to go.

I saw a new black 370 on the lot today. Covered! In sworls. Very nervous about that color on a z.

Pm jeffblue.

Black is fine if you are OCD and have a garage.

You know it's like a KA-NIFE.:ugh2:

there is no such thing as self healing paint. factory paint is a very thin single stage. aftermarket paint jobs are usually a sealer/color(basecoat)/clearcoat which is far superior.

They try and say the GT-R has the self healing paint, i've yet to see it in action.
