Does anyone knows of a excellent touch up paint source to heal up those chip spots without paint the whole hood?

 

i was wondering the same thing

 

I remember Nissan selling a small touch up spray for its cars, someone posted about it in a thread..

 

Welcome to the group!

 

Whine,whine,whine!!!

 

Yep, its a Nissa. Everytime i wash it, i try to look away so that i dont have to look at that damn front bumper. What can you do? enjoy the ride

Hmmm, in response to the paint, I just realized that I don't have many chips on my paint at all. Possibly because I got the 500 dollar ultra yellow paint job + a 5 year paint protective coating? Seems like a lot of people really complain about the paint chipping in the front and I'm JUST realizing that my car is not the same. Just thought I'd share that.

 

I experinced all three problems and came from a lexus SC400. it collected plenty of nose chips, but the paint was far superior. the lexus was a very nice car, but the Z is a whole lot more fun.

 

normal, cross ur fingers and hope the window regulators don't give out on you in the first year

 

so any advise on the touch up paints? and about the clear bra do you only needed it on the bumper or the hood too.

 

When I bought the car I didn't go for the clear bra cuz i thought it would look funky. I now have a new front bumper and had just the bumper done and it looks fine becasue you cannot see the line on the hood. If I didn't have a black car I might consider doing the hood too, but the rock dings I have are higher than the normal clear bra would go. I felt you could see the clear bra line too well on black.

It is a personal choice, but my old front bumper was beat to hell from rock hits when I changed bumpers. Most people didn't notice ti, but I did.

 

Yeah but you drive around in a car the color of ****!

Just kiddin bro dont take it to hard!

 

lol...i always cringe on saturday when i am detailing mine at the new paint chip that i know is going to be there on the bumper...or that spot of tar or grease that turns out not to be tar or grease when i try to wipe it off...ahhhh

 

The first time I washed the Z and ran across one of those front bumper mount dimples I was pizzed as hell thinking it was a ding.

 

what's yer secret?...

I barely drive mine and avoid bad roads or trucks with big tires... and I still have dings.

 

Every car will have some small stuff, but enjoy it, because the Z is a really fun car to own.

 

yea the paint is of real low quality

 

Next time you want to wax your car, clay it just prior to waxing, and you'll notice a HUGE difference in how the paint feels.

 

I wonder if the Canadian paint is different? I don't have any chips after a year.

 

They add maple syrup to the paint up there.
