Nissan canada calls this issue "fallout" if i was you...i would go to a bunch of shops and have them give you a quote and tell you what it is and take it the the rep!

I took it to a couple of body shops and they said it needs to be painted over as it is under the clearcoat and is a mess. The problem is it's all over the car. I'm very pissed off. Going to call corporate because this is a factory issue obviously. Cheap paint jobs on a 40k car.

Did you have a Nissan rep come down and look at it or did your dealer just handle it. By the way, does this go on carfax?

Was it something you noticed and told them right away or after a few days/weeks/months?

I have my car for about 4 months. Two possible paint defects: 1st Picture: one small area on the hood where it looks like water spots under the clear coat. Second picture: a faint discoloration (somewhat similar to the picture in post #90 by LakeShow) on a small area on my left front fender. Very faint and not too noticeable unless you are looking at it.

I tried everything and nothing could fix the above issues

Are my possible paint defects covered under warranty?

(I am currently at work and will upload pictures later in the day)

It sounds like you may have the problems that myself and a few others in this thread are suffering. It seems to be very common with this Gun Metallic color. Once you have the pic up we can analyze it. Basically if it doesn't buff or polish out its under the clear coat indicating another defective Gun Metallic Z.

I added a picture (click on it to see it clearer) of the "water spots" under the clear coat which I can't get out. Having diffuclty taking a good picture of the faint discoloration on the fender.

If you can't post the letter here, can you pm it? I see you are located in Canada. Wonder how much different the States will be.

Yes that looks like mine just slightly more faint but marks look very similar. It has that brown looking stain. Did you have someone attempt a buff or polish just to double check? If it doesn't come out that's the defective paint.
