New paint chip on my 2018.

I swear this car gets rock chips worse than anything I've ever owned...seems like it's been painted with watercolor or something. They certainly cheaped out on the paint I tell ya!

It’s okay. It only costs 40K. Cuz we are made out of money. Let’s just have it painted by Nissan. The whole car again lol

Yeah. I would never paint my car unless I Really HAVE to. Especially pearl white man. There is no matching for that.

It's really frustrating. I've had much older cars with a better factory paint job. Mines an 09 but c'mon! I had a cutlass supreme and it's paint was in really good shape especially for the year. I've touched up a few spots on the Z and at this rate I may as well just look into a wrap.

Yeah. It’s so sad. It’s not a cheap car man.

You can repair and blend a 3 stage pearl white.
Difficult.
