Well, went in for the repaint and they suggested to bring it in next week since they wouldn't be able to finish it before the holiday weekend due to having a few cars a head of me in the body shop. From hearing this I assume they will be doing a full repaint of the hatch and not just spraying over.

^^I was told the same to come in next week instead of tomorrow which was my appointment. They are no painting my car though, they want to try heating the imperfections out the paint. I never heard of this but if this corrects it, cool with me

Decided to give it a bath today. While I was at it, I clayed it and then waxed it since it has been almost 4 months since i waxed it last. Must say it looks great, although 30 minutes later when I took the photos, it was already getting dusty again

Yeah, I had to wash it today even though it is supposed to rain Friday. On Monday we had a mud storm (Part sand storm, part rain) and my car was filthy.

Wow! Are you repainting the whole thing? Hope it comes out 100%. I'm in the same boat, may have to repaint. Ugh the one time I don't get a black car it's a headache. My point of Gun metallic was that it look good of course but wouldn't be a headache. Honestly I can't sleep at night with my paint imperfections lol.

Honestly this Gun Metallic issue with stains and imperfections needs to be reported to Nissan Corporate and allow them to issue some type of recall or something because at this point it is out of hand. I spoke to a handful of members on this board and a few people in the detail and prep departments of different dealers and this is an on going issue with this specific paint that ended up with cars being repainted or replaced.
I went to a different dealer today and saw they had a GM 370 on the lot. I go and look at it and guess what the same exact marks. That's absolutely nonsense. The guy in the back told me that the dealer is aware of the issue and knows the cars have to be repainted and don't say anything to make a sale. He actually told me they repainted one car and sold it and owner did not know lol. This is absolutely ridiculous. Honestly Nissan needs to step up and take fault for their mistakes. This is factory defect.

They should do something, I agree. So far though it seems that everyone is being taken care of. The dealer I went to is going to foot the bill instead of taking the issue up to NNA. As long as I'm satisfied with the quality of the repaint, i have no issue with how they handled it since it is a quicker resolution than waiting for authorization from NNA. Also this is an issue that can be covered under warranty, it doesn't pose a safety hazard, so i don't see any recall coming out about it. It will be up to individual owners to take it up with the dealer/NNA.
--Edit-- NNA could just put out a bulletin about the problem that way the dealers would be aware of the problem and know that NNA will warranty it. I told the dealer all the info I knew about the problem and it was the first they had heard of it.
