Alright if you guys have been noticing, I've been a little more active on the forums because I'm getting a little more aggressive with the purchase now. My situation now is picking a car that is the color I want, but for $1000 more than the other dealership wants to offer the secondary color I like.

So it would be either pearl white or magnetic black... Maybe even Brilliant Silver.

I've only read from other members that the paint is really easy to scratch and there have been some random paint issues occurring. I know black is hard to maintain from the get-go, but is Nissan's black paint more difficult to deal with and to maintain than other black cars? Is it softer / more thin in comparison to the 350z paint?

The point I'm trying to get to is if I buy the magnetic black 370z, am I going to be seeing scratches all over the car to no end? I'll be putting a clearbra on some spots, but it might not help the doors and other unguarded spots. I will be keeping covered with a car cover and garage though when it's at home. So that brings up another question, if it does scratch and blemish easily... will I be happier with a brighter color like pearl white, silver, or even monterey blue?

Thanks for any feedback guys.
