09 PG paint defects Help!

Sounds like the same problem I had with my paint. Crazy thing was the dealer found that they had this same problem on many other Z's, just not to the same extent (maybe 2-3 per panel). Looked like bubbles underneath the clearcoat.

I finally agreed to a repaint, and the paint easily came out better than the other 370Z's they had on their lot, so I was relatively happy. Nissan did also throw in a 3 year maintenance plan, so that helped too. However, I wish tried to file some sort of diminished value claim with a lawyer. I threatened to, but they called my bluff.

In the end though, I'm happy it's all done and over with and I'm busy having a blast with my car.

Thanks flash, I will probably go ahead with the repaint and see how it turns out, other than this paint issue I love this car.

flash, did they repaint the door jams, if so did they tape over the VIN labels and you can tell its repainted? Or in your case you cant tell its repainted?

I can't tell if they repainted that area or not. I don't think they did. There is only one small spot on the front bumper that I noticed a few months afterwards where there is some overspray, but its so small and in a corner, I don't really care about it. Other than that one spot, I can't tell it's been repainted. I'm sure a professional could probably find things that indicate it was, or if one of those paint depth devices were used.
