370Z Purple/Pearlish Paint Defects

I have a red Z also. The paint sucks, period. purple dots, orange peel, fine scratches, easily chipped, the whole nine. Experienced the same thing with my 350. But I love the car and will drive it till its time to get repainted. I see people paying 5000 plus for rims, stereos, etc. I have no problem repainting when time comes. If you want a sports car with all characteristics of a Z and an A-one paint job, buy a porsche cayman. The Z has a great ride, engine, interior, performance and handling. There is no competition in the 30,000 dollar price range. Buy the car, baby the paint and you'll be happy. You can get most of blems out of the paint if taken to someone who knows what they're doing. Don't let the dealer touch the paint. Worth a couple hundred dollars to me.
