Paint chip is rusting
 

Any chance my warranty will cover it? Front of my car is so covered in paint chips I'm afraid to show it! Just over 10k miles and I'm almost ready for a respray.

that looks pretty rusted! ouch...
Can the rust expand under the paint if you leave it like that?

I just noticed it today coming back from lunch.. So annoying my audi had really bad paint chips. Now the Z!! bah.

I have the same thing in almost same spot. :-/

No I highly doubt they will cover the rust from the rock chip

they wont. just sand it with 400grit, clean it with some rubbing alcohol, use touchup paint. no biggie.

The Z's paint is soft. :shakes head:

I had the same issue with my Mazda6, so when I bought the Z, I bought a clearbra to protect from this. Trouble is, now I'm hearing about all the long-term issues with clearbras. You can't win for losing, right?

thats not good.

very brittle.......
 

No, actually its very brittle.................!! My 03 350 paint was the same way

:tiphat:

Thats where you went wrong. Should of bought an 04.5

flawless, I've heard.

Yeah i figured. Thanks for the tip Ken chan!

I had the same spot but on the exact opposite side. A little touch up paint and it's good to go:tup:

Yea, Nissan's paint is soft, brittle..whatever you wanna call it..it's kinda crappy IMO but the car in general looks sweet. Just get it done in Lamborghini paint or Rolls Royce paint ( which I've seen the documentary on it and it was insane...I think the car costs so much becuz of the paint job!)

where is it located? i thought our cars were made of aluminum?

Just the hood,doors and maybe rear deck lid(verify)
