i dont have any of the problem on my Z, at least not yet.. are the marks under the clear? it is caused by something that landed on the car?

they kinda look like water mark on the pic, or tree saps

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.

Are you getting your whole car repainted or just certain panels? My only issue is if a body shop can truely match the paint and not have any future issues such as peeling and fading etc...

I think they are just painting the affected panel. I'll find out more when i go back to drop it off tomorrow.

If its a reputable body shop your paint will probably come out better than factory. When you expecting your car back?

jazz · 11-28-2011, 01:52 PM

they told me it would be 4-5 weeks...so 2 or 3 more weeks. also lifetime warranty on the paint

Skeeterbop · 11-28-2011, 06:10 PM

Dropped it off today, They are just doing the one panel. Hopefully, they have it done by Friday.

LakeShow · 11-28-2011, 10:50 PM

Supposed to drop mine tomorrow morning. I'm not yet aware what they will do but will find out tomorrow. As far as I know they will try everything but painting first. Heard the use of hearing gun to heat it up and out because it's apparently moisture. I did some research on the body shop they are making me take to and reviews are not that good. I have no choice, as long as its 100% it should be fine.
Is it not weird a few of us are getting our paint repaired or repainted in same week lol.

Skeeterbop · 11-28-2011, 11:01 PM

I had considered taking it in before, but figured nothing would happen. After seeing a few here getting it fixed under warranty, i think it got those of us that had been living with it to go get it taken care of.

LakeShow · 11-29-2011, 12:25 AM

I really can't wait to see how all our cars will come out, especially Jazz's ZR full repaint.

jazz · 11-29-2011, 09:43 AM

stopped in last night! its still mostly apart, they shop manager told me if your unhappy we will make you happy!

i think i will be happy!

Skeeterbop · 11-30-2011, 04:48 PM

Just got told I can pick up my car this evening at the earliest

Skeeterbop · 12-01-2011, 12:43 PM

Got a chance to look at my car in day light. I must say I'm happy with how it turned out.
