370Z Purple/Pearlish Paint Defects

Alexus

You took the gamble buying a new first-year model car. Deal with it, it's normal that there are some defects and fortunately for us who are waiting for the 2010s to come out these problems will be resolved.

If Nissan has not worked out how to paint a car by now it's not going to be any better by 2010.

Even a first-year model, $90k USD, 2009 BMW M3 has loads of orange peel and paint defects. It's not a matter of figuring out how to paint a car... the line the 370Z is being built on in the Tochigi plant is virtually brand new. It's a matter of fine-tuning it. You simply cannot, realistically, expect a virtually flawless, $30-40k first-year model car. If the new M3 can get orange peel even with the Regensberg plant's rigorous quality control, I'm pretty sure the 370Z can get moisture under the clear.

Besides, I believe that it's a known fact that red is a difficult color to paint. The best solution is to simply avoid it.
