Nissan Paint Quality?

mrarroyo · 06-28-2009, 07:37 AM

I was not aware the paint in Nissan's was so poor. My last two Nissan's were an '84 PU and an '86 200sx. The truck was black and the paint was fantastic but the 200sx was red and it did not have clearcoat and sucked.

I don't know about longevity, but the finish on my car is very poor. I can't imagine what they must have done to get such a uniform orange peel texture over the entire car.

When people mention it, I just tell them it's an aerodynamic paint coating -- the dimples disturb the boundary layer of air, resulting in less drag.
