Gang,

I don't really believe that it is so much the thickness of the paint as I do the fact that it is so brittle. Since August of 02 when I took delivery of my 03 350 I have noticed chips in areas that I have never seen on any new car I have purchased since 1964. That and the bug kills that just sink into the paint on all of the new cars are ridiculous. But the body shops just love it.

$600 included the entire front bumper, and up to the top of the headlights on both the fenders and the hood, along with the mirrors. I had a couple tiny chips on my 350z on other parts of the car, but the parts that I covered this time on the 370z looked like they were peppered with a shotgun a few times on the old 350.
