Nissan has the worst clearcoat and thin paint!

Nissan does have pretty crappy paint IMHO.. Altho, it wouldn't stop me from buying one.

^ All the car manufacturers buy from the same 4 or 5 big manufacturers - BASF/Glasurit, PPG, Sherwin Williams, DuPont and Nippon. To make your paint environmentally "friendly," the EPA forced them to remove all the toxic but durable chemicals.

Carlyle Group just bought the auto paint business from Dupont, Carlyle will now pick apart the pieces of the company and send the business to China to make auto paint.....not a good thing.

Maybe they'll put lead back in it like they put in all of thier other products.

That should improve durability.
