You're blaming Nissan for water spots, hairline scratches, and black flecks on your rims?

Its not that bad... you guys should not be investing in clear bras lol that **** is retarded. If you really want to protect your paint - take it to a detailer who knows what he is doing and it will be fine. They will seal it up nice and well and the clear will be better than it was from factory. I get my car detailed 2 times a year - once in the middle of summer and once in the middle of winter. I don't bother cleaning bird crap off the car - I just hand wash her every week.

not to mention the mismatched bumper colors that are accentuated by body curves that make them look even darker... this paint is soft as $hit, literally, if you take a steaming pile of it and touch it, its the same.

Fender edge chips are getting worse. I don't recall the 350Z having this issue, but I have a feeling our cars are going to suffer fender rust down the road.

I Just plan to have my front end re sprayed after 50k miles, just as I did on my old 03 G35 coupe... the chips just can not be stopped unless you have a clear bra... Im not a fan of them so I will just deal with it...
It is what it is... Audi paint is FTW ... My gfs old 99 Audi A4 ( pearl white ) was sold with 150k miles on it with less chips in the front bumper and hood than my car with 8k miles on it lol and yea I have fender edge chips as well... sucks!

Well like I have said a 100 times, go to the Nissan North America Discussion Board in Face Book.
Post in there all the comments you put here. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/...74&topic=27457 That way we will get the attention from Nissan!!!

Obviously I am in the great minority here, but my paint seems fine to me. 14K on my Chicane Yellow and other than some very slight color difference between the metal and plastic surfaces that no one but me notices, I have not have any major issues with the paint. I did get the clear bra early on and it REALLY helps on the front.
Flame suit on. Have at it. AZ Roadster |

I love my black, but it gets on my nerves as well.
Let's say for instance after awhile I'd like to have my z repainted, to have better paint, as well as change the color for fun. Can anyone give me a ball park estimate of what it costs to have a whole car repainted, typically?

All manufactures are dealing with this issue. Blame it on environmental regulations not the car.
Oh and c5's are known to have a very heavy clear coat which is why they have orange peel like a mofo. |

With black wash with 2 buckets, grit guards for both, clay bar, mequiars ultimate compound(does'nt scratch paint), and high quality sealant and wax. I use Klasse.
Maintaining a black nissan/infiniti cars is like a full time job.
