its to the point the paint is flaking off bc the clearcoat is gone.

i took it to a small dealership, and they blamed me, or the enviroment, for eating through the paint.

I have owned 1 american and 3 different japanese makes of cars and motorcycles, this has never happened!

I do park my car outside, but I highly doubt the sun could do this in 16 month.

Anyone experienced this with their Z? Any suggestions about how i should deal with this with the dealership?

thanks in advance


That looks like etching from a bird bomb, because the acid in the bird bomb has started to eat through your clear coat. Have you ever clayed, polished and waxed or sealed (or possibly both, i like to do both when i do a full paint correction ) your 370Z before? Car manufacturers are using water based paints now, and thinner clear coats because of environmental concerns.
