Nissan Paint Quality?

correct me if i'm wrong but i believe they changed to water based because of the stricter environmental standards.

I had some blemishes in my paint that were taken care of with wetsanding. I do believe that the paint quality is not what I expected from Nissan.

thanks for the insight everyone.

it seems like the general opinion is that Nissan paint quality is a little below standard, but not really a reason not to buy the new Z.
