Yes, bring it to a reputable detailer and have them polish them away. In the industry it's known as micro-marring and it is easily polished away.

I just have orange peel. I absolutely hate it but not really sure how to go get it fixed short of wet sanding which i don't want to do.

Thanks for the info, now the problem is finding someone that actually knows what they are doing to get it done. :shakes head:

Ask a friend or find someone who has had work done by a shop and is very satisfied. Try to find a shop that is not high volume, so your car will receive more care and attention. If you can't find someone who knows of a good shop, go check some out. Look at their work and ask for references. Good luck.

i just read this thread went looked gah mines doing the same thing on the front drives side at the corner by the wheel where the bumped edge thingy...

same issue
 

i used to own a 2009 platinum graphite base model 370, it had this issue but only in one spot. I sold it and bought a 2009 solid red 370z nismo. Well just recently i got a flat tire (left rear) and was changing it when i noticed where the rear bumper meets the rear quarter panel there is NO GAP AT ALL. as i walked around the car i noticed that on all four corners of the vehicle it looks as though the paint was smashed together by the cars natural flex and vibration paired with the lack of any visible gap at all caused it to flake off all the way to the bear material. this car has been a nightmare but i still love it, OEM tires for the car are on back order since feb, it has the fabled transmission rattle (as did my old one) and now this paint issue? if it were any other car i would have rammed it into the dealership by now.

The paint on my 09 PG got easily marked by bird droppings, my car is being repainted completely under warranty because of spots under the clear coat. The body shop told me someone from Dupont was coming to inspect my car due to the terrible condition of the paint. I was also told that some Z's had the bumpers painted once they arrived to the US from Japan. That might be the reason for the paint problems on the bumpers. Hopefully my car will get painted correctly and ill be able to enjoy it, if not im selling it and getting a Lexus IS-F.

All you guys need to let Nissan North America know (email) about all this issues!!!

In addition NNA has a page in Facebook, last tab is a Discussion Board for you to post all this stuff a get it up to the food chain.

One thing that disappoints me is modern cars orange peel paint jobs. The NSX has no orange peel.

guys when ur taking close up shots pls use Macro mode... every pic is blurred!

Bumped.

I live in Houston and I've owned this car for three weeks now and I began noticing reddish brown like spots ALL over the car, mostly on the metal sections though. Not to mention that my flip flop scratched the door entry sill area the other day.

I've emailed the dealer this evening and I'm waiting on a response.

I'm not going to blow up about it b/c that solves nothing, but a letter to them pointing out Nissan's sub-par manufacturing capabilities should get their attention.

Problems since delivery on 7.2.2011 -

1. Tire pressure sensor failed in 2 days.
2. Wheels (2) were scratched in lug well areas. (Due to installation)
3. Tint was peeling off (aftermarket)
4. Clearcoat / paint issues.

Paint issue is a warranty issue.
Wheels scratched is a dealer issue, they can and should have that fixd.
Aftermarket tint? You said the car was new, so did the dealer have the tint put on or you? Either way, either one should fix and make right.

Good luck...

reviving a old thread I was cleaning my fender of bird dropping and I notice 2 specs that wouldn't wash away. After I took a closer look it look like the bird dropping went make a chip in the paint and its looks like its starting to rust :( after looking over the car more carefully theres quite a few chips and it looks like made all the way through to bare metal. my car is pearl white and the chips are silver. What kind of cheap paint is nissan using. :mad:

I had the same thing yesterday. I have a red 09 and i was washing and waxing it yesterday on a nice sunny day and the car almost looked orange till i put my sunglasses on then it was red lol. It shouldnt be paint fade either since my car is always garaged and only sees the sun when out driving around.
