So far, my paint has held up but my rays are starting to discolor. I went to the dealer and they said it was the result of "wheel products" which is BS!!! I don't think it's from that reading some of the other threads here. I'm going back tues and printing up some of the stuff in here about the paint and thread about the wheels. The more I read, the more pissed I get. Pretty sad that you spend 40k plus on a car and get a 99$ paint job AND at over 600 bucks for a factory wheel, you'd think the finish would be better. I am going to tear some azzes up on tuesday!!!! buncha BS!!!

Yeah I know. I was just venting. They sent pics to nissan so we'll see what they say. I also have a contact number and left a message. I'm cool dude, I'll be very calm and professional when I tell them I will set the dealership on fire.

just kidding........I think.

Just got word from the dealer that they will not cover my paint after they inspected it.

I have a black 2010 roadster z (10k miles) and this paint is worse than my car I traded for it (2007 black armada with 65k miles). My last 3 cars over the period of 9 years have been made by nissan and since Nissan wont cover their new crappy paint this z will be my last. Also I will make sure to tell everyone I know not to buy a Nissan because the paint will look like crap after 1 year of light use.

Even when I was at the St. Louis auto show last weekend it was evident that the new nissans had deeper swirl marks than most of the cars at the show.

Default Jazz-Swirl marks

Swirl marks are caused by wiping , waxing a car without removing the tiny particles of dirt first. Swirl marks at a car show are easily explained by the people going around and wiping off the fingerprints and dust/dirt without first cleaning off those tiny bits of dirt with claying or other detialing and cleaning products. Its how the surface is treated and not the paint.
