Jazz,
I think I am going to approach Nissan about my red roadster as well. Would you send me details about the whole process as how you got them repaint your car including where you are getting your car painted? Thanks Last edited by zakimak; 04-17-2012 at 04:06 PM. |

The dealer I went to sent my car off last Monday. They sent it to a different body shop than the one they told me they would. Then on Friday I went to pick it up and immediately noticed two spots on the hood where dirt/debris got under the clearcoat. I noticed tons of swirl on the roof. Turns out they just wet sanded and re-cleared that. It's been raining since then so I haven't had a good chance to fully check out their work. The problem is I know nothing of paint, so I'll probably get someone who knows paint to tell me how good or bad of a job they did.

Wow really good job! I'm very impressed. Looks straight from factory. The paint is right on the money

Paint
The finish on my 2009 Black Z looks great. But, I baby the crap out of it. Its never taken in until I either wash it and follow with Megquires Ultimate Detailer or just use the detailer everytime bringing the car in and put under cover. At times i see a swirl and just use a cleaner/wax, then Megquires Quik Wax and then the Ultimate Detailer. Use the best cloths . After 2 years now these don't bother me as if it were new Z anyway but i fully understand.

Beware Nissan ruined my car. Instead of having a couple of spots on the hood & trunk every panel had a flaw. The car was covered in orange peel & swirl marks. I had to lemon law it. They had documents stating that orange peel is normal. I had to prove that the millage of the paint was 15-18 mills when normal is 3-5. The windows didn't seal properly anymore, the roof & deck lid hit when opening or closing the roof, the trunk no longer sealed properly & lots of rattles in the interior. They have to take the car apart to paint then try & get everything back together.

Wondering if I should attempt this. I have a contact at Nissan Corp. and not sure I should even attempt this. The spots look like they are under the clear coat on the hood. Only problem is, I spent $700 plus on a damn clear bra and it would just seem like a pain to get done.

So far, my paint has held up but my rays are starting to discolor. I went to the dealer and they said it was the result of "wheel products" which is BS!!! I don't think it's from that reading some of the other threads here. I'm going back tues and printing up some of the stuff in here about the paint and thread about the wheels. The more I read, the more pissed I get. Pretty sad that you spend 40k plus on a car and get a 99$ paint job AND at over 600 bucks for a factory wheel, you'd think the finish would be better. I am going to tear some azzes up on tuesday!!!! buncha BS!!!
