May or may not be true, so take it for what its worth.

Red is pretty much always the fastest to wear out, regardless of the manufacture. It shows fading the most.

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:

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:

Has anyone tried machine buffing (or even wet sanding) the bumpers to smooth out the clear coat a bit?

It sounds like Nissan actually has gone above and beyond trying to help, but unless you can choose one from the factory, there is only so much the dealership can do after trying to correct the problem.

Good luck with the paint issue, I hope it all gets resolved to your satisfaction.
