Yep... So black paint hides body lines and shows paint imperfections. Any questions? Class dismissed. ;)

I love where these new technologies are going lately... Especially because they're green.

Say bye-bye to Maaco lol

Does anyone know if this is just on the metal body parts or also on the plastic such as the bumpers? I got a small scuff near the front wheel well and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle it.

Check out Mequire's Online. They have great suggestions, how-to, and plenty of experieces. I'm sure you'll find something there that will work. Let us know how you decide to handle.

Get a hair dryer and blow some hot air on the scuff for a few minutes.

Self-Healing Car Paint Uses Sunlight To Repair Scrapes

Thanks for the suggestions. Before heating the paint or using a polish on it, I think I'll try parking it in the sun first and see if there's any impact on the scuff mark. I'll try to take before and after pics and post them if it works.

It can take up to a week... FYI. It's the heat that makes the paint heal. The beads that were released from the paint during the scuffing need heat to cure. You can park it in the sun, but don't expect immediate results. Depending on how hot it is out there in Phili, it can take a while.

So...am I to understand that this self-healing paint is standard on US-spec models? Because I just checked the spec list at nissanusa.com and don't see anything about this.

I've read reports that it's an option on the Z in metallic form. Would that mean those of us in red and chicane are out of luck?

I was really hoping for this because I'm going an MB 370... but I shot an email to Nissan Usa who said non of the Z's have it (not standard nor optional). :(
