370Z Purple/Pearlish Paint Defects

PapoZalsa · 12-05-2009, 09:08 PM

After reading this I'm happy I got the MB. I had this issue before with red color cars, and red is my favorite color. The last issue I had the dealer claimed it was acid rain.

Didn't read thru the whole thread but I hope you resolved your issue!

My 09 370 is also full of spots under the clear coat, already took it to my dealer and their body shop, someone from nissan HQ is going to look at it tomorrow. The only diference in my case is that i bought mine used with 3500k. We will see how they handle my case but I do not want a new car that its totally repainted

Please let me know how that turns out. My spots are smaller than they were when I first noticed them last July which is when I bought it, and they only appear in the hot sun. Are yours there all the time or just on sunny days?

Epic bump. I'm glad I went with MB, as we seem to be having the fewest issues out of all of them. Mine was built in the first month of production and have 'knock on wood' no issues with the paint. There was a strange blemish on the hood that I took note of when I picked up the car, and the dealer tried to get it out with no luck, but it has since gone away.

Nissan agreed to paint my entire car, I could not argue to get a new one because Im not the original owner. I dont think this is a especific color issue rather a process issue when the car gets painted. The spot are most noticeable when looking at the car in a angle and the sun not directly on the car. I would recommend all 2009 z owners to do a detailed check of their paint to make sure you dont have these before the warranty runs out
