I have read multiple threads regarding the poor quality of Nissan paint, but my Z doesn't have any paint chips on the front fascia thus far. I have had it for about 3 months, and have 2200 on the odometer. Ran it through canyons driving "spiritedly" numerous amount of times, and expected to pick up a few pock marks. It leaves me to wonder if the had improved the paint for the latest model.

 

That would be a big no. Haven't done much freeway driving, have you?

 

i accidently bumped my friend's rear bumper with my 06 z... his bumper chipped and my didn't (i don't even have a license plate)

 

Im sure its the same as the other years after 200 miles i already had chips in my front bumper.

 

Sorry buddie...same ****ty paint on ur 06...and ur heavier with less tq....

 

Hehe.. Hawaiian roads,streets watever.. you drive by.. sucks.. my paint job isn't great.. I got a few tiny minute rock chips.. but my neighbor downstairs has an 05 but barely drives it and still has that new look.. I guess it depends on where you drive it and how the weather conditons are to wear out paint.

 

How much heavier....? I can gain that torque easily but can you gain those ponies..lol

 

hawaii is a peice of rock so you will have rocks everywhere. maybe ur neighbor takes care of his car or drives like a granny

 

Around 80% of my driving is on the highway, but since I live in Los Angeles I don't have much opportunity to take it up to normal highway speeds. I guess that's why.

 

^ I know what you mean. I dont do too much highway driving and Ive got chips all over the front bumper and its only been 6 months.

 

Uh oh theyre poochin eachother

 

Lets discuss this subject when you have 20,000 miles.
