Mine went A little differently. I took the car down and the service manager/salesman/paint "guy" looked at it. They agreed they needed to fix the front bumper (but never admitted to any touching up of the paint) and agreed to also fix the paint on the roof.
They sent me over to their preferred body shop and the guy is sending them the estimate. Once they have the estimate, they said they would contact Nissan to get the work approved.
On a side note, the body shop guy told me the spots on top were from bird droppings. I laughed at that. If a bird crapped on it the day I bought it and I didn't wash it for a month I wouldn't expect this type of paint damage. Also, the other Nissan guy said it was below the clear coat. Who to believe...

UPDATE: The dealer has approved a repaint on the bumper and to fix the "spots" on my car. I'm somewhat unsure of whether its good or bad to fix "spots" but if I just leave them they'll just get worse, so I'm having them fixed. I'll keep my fingers crossed they don't just make it worse.

Update for all of you on my car. I had the front bumper repainted (there are obvious sanding marks now) but after getting some major bad info on the painter the original dealer was using I stopped them from repainting the rest of the car. I then took it to my local dealer, who also agreed they thought Nissan would cover it and had me take it to their painter. I went back and forth for a month trying to buff out some of the issues after that painter told me it would hurt my value. Now that I've decided I want them to paint it, the service manager says "now, we won't guarantee the paint color will match perfectly" and "Nissan won't blend panels, they'll only paint individual panels". Which P'd me off to no end. He shakes his head like I'm an idiot to repaint the panels (Hood, roof and both rear fenders) but I want to hold them to their friggin warranty. They took pictures today and hopefully I'll hear from them by the end of the week.

^^Wow....are you getting the whole thing repainted? That seems like a pain in the butt. But anyways as long as it comes out 100% factory looking, it's fine. My fear is that I may also have to repaint my Gun Metallic.

LakeShow 11-26-2011 05:51 PM

Wow that's tough. Did you get to choose which body shop or did Nissan put you in a specific body shop? When will it be done?

jazz 11-28-2011 08:30 AM

had my pic of 4 shops.

bigsix 11-28-2011 11:53 AM

It's good Nissan is acting accountable for sh*t paint.

Why cost-cut in the first place, if customers will notice ?
