Chicane yellow owners...paint issues?

ckubojiri · 09-21-2009, 02:29 AM

Looks like small bubble like marks under the paint on my hood. I only notice it in my garage under the garage lighting and at certain angles. Hard to see out in the sunlight or out of my garage for that matter, but didn't check if its visible outdoors thoroughly. Will do that soon. Looks like a paint defect to me that I'm considering having checked out. Bugs the hell out of me.

Anybody else have similar issues?

These Z's have crappy paint jobs. Still love mine, but dammit.

Seems like alot of compalints about the paint.Great car other then the paint though.
Some have made the comment what do you expect for a reasonably priced sports car? Kind of a dumb comment I think.
For what we pay for the new Z it is quite a nice sports car but the paint is very poor.
My only disappointment so far.

I agree. I've had other non-sports cars that cost significantly less and have not experienced such paint issues. I repainted my honda for $400 a year ago and it looks great. lol

Didn't find any other posts illustrating a smiliar description of my paint issue, but I'll update if and when I have time to have it looked at.
