Our paint sucks compared to euro

yah, they need to incorporate the self healing paint so folks dont need professional detailers any more.

hahaha.

my G is over 5yrs old (original owner) and it still looks brand new. and no pro-detailer needed.

The paint on my 2002 maxima has held up well and still looks great, I've just maintained it with regular washes and waxes.

well if down the line i get a body kit, i'm going to spend top dollar to get this baby painted and clear coated like it should have been.

I have not seen any factory-painted car without orange peel...including euros. The only ones without orange peel are the hand-painted ones!

If you have over $8,000.00 to spend I have someone in Orange County and it will look like glass.

Actually thats not true. I measure the paint on every vehicle I detail and the Z is not thin at all (4.5 mills on average). And as far as it chipping easily, being a medium hard clear coat it won't chip as easily as a hard clear. I owned a 2003 VW Jetta GLI for 7 years which had very soft clear, and it didn't chip bad at all. I would rate "my" Z as average as far as the hardness of the clear. I'm having clear bra installed very soon to assure a good looking car for years to come.
