370Z paint durability

StealthZ · 02-07-2010, 01:44 PM

I know first hand from minor paint problems and know that when you go to the Nissan dealer and if they find it to be a defect it is handled differently then a normal part under warranty. as it is a quality control issue of a different level and raises more flags per say then your windshield wipers not working issue.
In comparison, I've owned the last generation 350z VQ35HR and didn't really have any paint issues and seams almost the same as my 370Z. The finish is way better on this car as there is no orange peal at all. Nissan/Infinity is known to have a softer paint, nothing special like the hard clear coat on corvette's and ceramics used on Euro models.
Overall I think the paint is good-to-go. Take care of your paint and it will shine.
Cheers
