Aha. One area where Nissan needs to do some improvements, on an otherwise great Sports car.

Life of the paint? What, did you burn through it or something?

A trade I am willing to take.... That is why it is important to keep your Z clean and waxed at all times. While they may have better paint, have you seen how much MORE it costs them??

Keep a good coat of wax and it should do fine. Chips are gonna happen but a good detailer can fix them like new.

I also love how the base coat of the car is actually the same color as the final coat (chips and scratches don't show up that easily!) Wish more auto manufactors would do this!

Mine has a black basecoat with a silver topcoat.

The paint is not single stage paint. There is a clear coat on these cars. Very few manufactures use single stage now a days.
