Not yet...it's really hard to photograph because the Red is so bright and it has to be in the perfect lighting...If I get some, I will share! Right now I don't even have the car...it is at the dealer AGAIN...

I know how you feel.
I have the same problems with my car.
Both front and back bumpers are full of orange peel.
I can not believe that Nissan would allow cars with such paint defects to be released to the market.
Not only there is orange peel but the clear coat is the worst I've EVER seen. It's so soft that the paint scratches and chips extremely easy.
Maybe I've been spoiled with a long list of German cars. Maybe I expect more then I should from a Nissan, but then again, when you pay Aus$75,000 for a car (US$62,500), you can expect the paint to be without major defects.
