Nissan has the worst clearcoat and thin paint!

I do not think it is Nissan paint in general that sucks -- it is the Z's paint. The nose of my 370 looks like the lunar surface up close and at sunrise.

Meanwhile, my 2012 Juke, which now has 10,000 miles -- is flawless; not one chip on the entire vehicle.

Go figure.

Worst paint in the business, worst pearl white ever. How can Nissan even think this pearl white is close to Acura or Lexus...

+1
I have a white VW R32 that I use for a daily driver and I don't have any chips on the hood.
My Z is half as old with half as many miles and the hood is peppered with rock chips

The color is sexy as hell, but the quality is

Its horrible, since about 2000 Nissans paint on the Z and Max suck balls....Most Z's and Maxi's I see from 00 on for the Max and 03 for Z have sandblasted looking front ends.
