Unless you clear bra the whole car, nope.

Rear Bumper in for painting

I'm with you on this blink, but I wouldn't worry about a little scratch in the plastic. Let alone contemplate replacing the bumper because of it, lol.

I got a small nick in my windshield on my way back from Albuquerque last weekend, its fu^king driving me nuts.

No. The two chips from fking rocks on my hood do not bother me at all. Am i making myself perfectly clear? Everything is fine! Just fine.

They did, until I did this, now, not so much.

check out my Mike's Journal thread, but the short story is oil cooler line came off right before the braking zone at turn 1, VIR and soaked the front left brake with oil, causing a spin.

(waves at the Georgia guy)

Had a silver RSX and that color didn't stop the rock chips from showing up much at all. It DID stop a lot of the "swirlies" showing up, though

I blame it on the black paint since it shows everything; which is why I'm getting the car painted next month. I do know that all cars will have some kind of blemish but mine is crazy... no more parking next to anyone and no more car washes... needs to be done at home.

I have been complaing about this paint since day one.Unfortunetly I was excited when seeing the car for the first time and didn't notice the poor paint.
I also have the magnetic black and it is piss poor paint.
I'am sorry to hear you have to spend to have a brand new car repainted but it feels good to hear someone else recognizes the fact the paint sucks.Some on here are very protective of negative comments about the car.
It is the real deal though that Nissan dropped the ball on the paint job of this car!
Good luck with your new paint job!
