those are odd things to see. I wonder why Nissan is having weak paint once again. I really do like everything but the paint...

I've seen some off paint, but that's worse than I've ever seen

Grab some day shots at different angles too plz

thats about how far off my side skirts are. no, the bumper wasn't replaced, they are painted at different times with different batches of paint and a different type of surface being painted, which is what causes the variance in color.

dang man, that's just too much now !

Jacky · 04-19-2010, 09:35 AM

Eeekk i am interested in getting a pearl white z. Would you know they fix this paint issue for 2010?

vipor · 04-19-2010, 09:37 AM

I doubt it. Just keep a lookout when you're shopping for your car, and let the dealer know that anything that noticeable will need to be fixed before you take delivery.

The pores in the plastic are molecularly different, so I'm afraid you're stuck with that deal and Lemmon Laws are weak, so, good luck.

Wow that looks bad!

Dang, so it looks like its not very common among Pearl White Z's. I will let you guys know what happens on Wednesday when I bring it in.

The dim light really accentuates the difference, pretty much the same that is on my car. They were painted at two different times as previously stated. I bought my car in September, it probably is too late. But whatever, no biggie.

How much would it cost to be resprayed?

6spd · 04-19-2010, 01:34 PM

Holy $hit thats bad, mine are fine, nothing like that at all. You didnt notice that when you bought it?!?!?!

Montez · 04-19-2010, 02:25 PM

Some of us have no issue, some minor, you major. Hope whomever resprays it gets it looking as good as "new", I definately would not have taken delivery of that!

I have a PW on order, being manufactured this Month, I wonder if Nissan has addressed this issue??

I'm more worried that its a match or reasonably close to a match, but then over time it gets worse - when your less likely to get the dealer to do anything about it. I've had several motor homes, and it is really noticeable as the unit ages. The paint matches day one but because of the different materials underneath, the paint ages differently and changes shade. Its really noticeable with white.

Has anybody seen the color difference get worse with age?
