Here's some interesting information on how to deal with paint defects on new cars. If worse comes to worse you can spend a little bit of money and take them to small claims court. From what you're saying it sounds like they would want to settle before court since the paint is defective.


Scroll down to the Getting a paint/defect settlement section.

I purchased my Solid Red 370Z in July 2009. A couple of weeks after that while it was sitting out in the hot North Carolina sun I noticed little paint bubbles on the hood and front fender. They looked like droplets of water but they were firm to the touch. I really stressed out about it but while I was trying to take a picture of them to send to my salesman I went to clean some bug splatter off the car with a damp cloth and when I ran the cloth over the bubbles they rubbed off and there was no trace of them ever having been there. The bubbles still appear, only smaller, and only appear in the hot sun. I am meticulous about detailing my 370Z at least once a week so it's not tree sap or something of that nature. My latest theory is that either the clear coat is oozing something because there is no red on the cloth or maybe the "First Place Finish" car wax the dealer had on it when I bought it is bubbling up in the hot sun. Has anyone else with the bubble problem tried wiping them off with a damp cloth?

Ifeel the need to reply to this ,as my RED G T R, IS having the same problem.I live in the uk but have never bought a RED car before.I have very soft paint with very small raised spots,also bird poo is etching right into the paint .Nissan is investigating.While the garage has offered to buff the paint.I think this is stupid to try this. I will keep you posted on this.I previously owned 2 350z s,but they were metallic silver/blue,no probs with them.P J T paul from uk:stirthepot:

Are those "little purple/pearlish spots all over the car" tiny specks about the size of a bic ball point pen tip and are distributed maybe and inch or so apart?

I also have them exactly as you describe. Have you tried wiping them with a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth? When I do that the spots on my car disappear, which leads me to believe it is either surface pollutants or the wax beading up.

So, this Service Manager (who is now my hero) thought outside the "bay" and has come up with a way to fix it...he told me how and said a lot of "car" words that I didn't quite understand, but the section he tested looked good. So he thinks he may have my car (nice and shiny no purple dots) back to me by tomorrow!!!! OMG this would be fantastic!

If this truly does work the way I am hoping it will, I will get the details of what he did so I can let everyone know who might have similar issues~!

I am just so glad that I may not have to have my BRAND NEW car repainted!!!!:driving:
