It is certainly on the GT-R. But, you are correct, it is the clear, but Nissan terms it a self-healing "paint". Don't rightly know why.

Heat guns and sun are supposed to work. But, in truth, this type of clear is so soft that it scratches from usage of microfiber rags. Ugh.

Yeah I screwed up by saying "any Nissan"

It is on the GTR, but it's in it's own class.

Supposedly this stuff was put on MY05+ cars in Japan and elsewhere. Can't say for certain that it was here in the US during these times. Also, I heard somewhere that Nissan is putting this paint on mobile phones? *haha*
