Does every little scratch bother you?

YES..everything that happens to the Z bothers me so badly! I have a 4 inch deep scratch on the hood, dent /missing paint under drivers door handle, 6 inch deep scratch on right fender. Oh..yea and a tiny hairline on the hatch. Thats just to name a few

I blame it on the black paint since it shows everything; which is why I'm getting the car painted next month. I do know that all cars will have some kind of blemish but mine is crazy... no more parking next to anyone and no more car washes... needs to be done at home.

LOL... if you really cared that much... and didnt want scratches / blemishes - you should NEVER go to a car wash... handwash it and detail her once or twice a year...

I have one TINY chip in the seam of the door / body (dont know how the fvck it got there lol)... and it pisses the crap out of me lol

I have been complaing about this paint since day one.Unfortunetly I was excited when seeing the car for the first time and didn't notice the poor paint.
I also have the magnetic black and it is piss poor paint.
I'am sorry to hear you have to spend to have a brand new car repainted but it feels good to hear someone else recognizes the fact the paint sucks.Some on here are very protective of negative comments about the car.
It is the real deal though that Nissan dropped the ball on the paint job of this car!
Good luck with your new paint job!

I'm with ya and it does not bother me that much, its going to happen no matter how much you try to protect/baby it..... I am use to Nissan paint of recent after owning 2 Z's and 2 Maximas, the paint will chip not only on the front but also on the sides near door edges etc for no reason....

Paint it Brilliant Silver! You'll wash it half as often

And yes, never park next to ANYONE, they ALL suck.
