Front/Rear Bumper/Fender Molding Paint Flaw

kdo2milger · 08-08-2009, 12:44 PM

So I wanted to do a Poll to track the paint flaws alot of us are having to see if it warrants a TSB from Nissan.

This is a multiple Choice Poll, so you can choose all the corners you are having paint problems with...

Mods can we add a Poll option that says "No corner paint defects" or something to this effect?

I have both the Platinum Graphite and Red and see no flaws in the paint. Therefore my vote would not count for your poll. Interesting that a lot peeps are having paint issues. Do you have pics to post up?

The nismo at the local dealership even had the same defect...

kdo2milger · 08-08-2009, 08:39 PM

mine is the rear right where the plastic bumper meets the fender, there is a small bit of paint missing from the plastic bumper at the tip.

I will try and get a pic and update here...

I don't have the paint issue. However, looking closely I noticed that along the edges of all the panels on the plastic parts where they meet up with the metal panels, there is a clear plastic film under the clear coat. I wonder if this is fix from Nissan for this problem.

Thanks I will bump over to the thread.

Holly...bat..poop....those pics and the paint chipped are very noticeable. That is totally unacceptable and I would be all over the stealer ship and if no resolution, then I would be on the phone with NNA (Nissan North America) Consumer Affairs. I have them on speed dial since my oil consuming 06 350Z.

Q: I take it the paint chipped way after you took delivery? As this size of a chip would be noticeable on a walk around during delivery to you

A choice for no problems at all would make this poll more useful.

No paint flaws on my finish. I just detailed & waxed it. The paint is almost perfect. My color is Carbon Silver (same as the USA Platinum Graphite).

Since my paint is OK, I didn't vote.

I've had my car since January and the paint has no flaws. I'd like the poll to include those that DO NOT have flaws so we can see just how rare it is.

Also flaws by color might be interesting as well. Mine is black.

understood...however this poll was created for those with the bumper defects to gage the possibility of getting a TSB released...

very good point!

i dont know if mods can update this poll to reflect defects by color, but it may very well prove useful for data collection

Yes some colors could be more durable or more prone to fail. Who knows....
