My other question is, why not complain to Nissan about it and so they can upgrade the paint coating for next year? Perhaps maybe use the Infinite's scratch-proof-thank-you-sun coating?
This is quoted from the Nissan write-up for the European 40th Anniversary Special:
"As its name implies, the Euro-spec 370Z Black Edition comes in two metallic
shades black and quartz with both paints using Nissan's Scratch Shield technology that promises to 'heal' the finish in the case of stone chip damage." Wish we had that.
