can somebody help with paint Qs
 

hey does any of u guys know if the 2012 Z still have such a bad paint job?? because im planning to get one but if this still going then i will get another coupe for sure, can somebody tell me please..

I have a black 370 and my detailer noticed a high spot, almost like a blob of paint on the bonnet.

The odd dust nib here and there is normal. Ive seen this with with many other brand new cars. I have a tiny dust nib or two on the z also. Had one on my brand new speed 3 hood also.

Being hawk eyed and using good light is no good to me LOL

other than the pearl whites not matching slightly, im happy with how mine is holding up. maybe dif colors are worse...

For the record I just bought a Subaru forester XT as a DD since we had such a terrible winter here, and the paint on that thing is far far worse than the Z. You stare at the paint long enough and through the transmission of sensory waves you can swirl the paint. Its total crap. Every single piece of road debris forms a meteor sized crater in the surface of the cars exterior.

So far my 2012 paint isn't that bad but for some reason the 2012 370z for the most part aren't labeled metallic paint colors like the other years. So I'm not sure if its even as shiny

I have this exact same paint defect as described in the first post, and I have a 2014 Pearl white Z. Anyone able to somewhat fix this with some good touch up paint? I know this is not a perfect fix, but I am trying to avoid repainting the entire bumper, I just applied the clear bra, and I don't want to have that removed.

Can't believe this is still a problem for some. My midnight blue is looking good so far, no defects where the bumper meets the fender or anywhere else. I'm actually pretty impressed with my paint job.

Here is what my Nissan dealership emailed me....

"I heard back from the Nissan representative, unfortunately, he has denied the claim. He stated that he has not had any warranty claims or other known issues with this particular situation/issue and cannot deem it as a "defect"."

With this in mind, where do I go next... more interested in how people, if anyone, "fixed" this. I am worried about touch up paint, but with the clear bra on it, that may be my only option.

I can't believe this isn't covered as part of the 3 year/36,000 bumper to bumper coverage. Am I missing something here? :icon14:

My 2010 Pearl White Nismo looks better than day one....67,000 miles.......
as of today and daily driven. 60 + hand waxed coats of Mother's carnauba wax over the four years........



:tup:

I have this same problem, front bumper right side. Thought this was only me. :shakes head:

I think ill head over to the stealer this week :stirthepot:

I called nissan customer service and they launched a case, I am supposed to hear back from them within 24 hours, let's see what they have to say... Meanwhile, the peeling seems to have gotten worse.

The official response from Nissan is that this is a chip in the paint, rock or something similar, no coverage, wear and tear related.

just discovered mine doing the same as op's... 2013 black cherry

Where you able to get anything done with Nissan? After many fights they agreed to have their shop take a look at it and decide if they can get away with touch up paint or repaint it all. They agreed to redo the clear bra as well. I still need to decide if I want to go through this whole process, but at least Nissan is somewhat admitting there is a problem there.

mine doesnt look like that at all... but i also dont drive up curbs and tires stops and walls...

Haha, neither do I trust me, if anything I baby this car too much. I highly doubt this has much to do with driving style, I think it may be a paint defect or somehow the bumper was not properly put on the car... either way, sucks for those that dumped 30k Plus on a brand new car.
