Default 2007 Z Paint flaked OFF Mudflaps

Unbelievable the car is only 5 weeks old. I was washing it at Texas car wash today.Maybe the high pressure hose but still the ****ing paint just flaked out. Its not like i hold it in one spot and spray COmon...
Anyways I'm talking the inner part of the Mud flap . Anyone else??? This paint is really that cheap

BTW Its a White Z

lol dude, i think you should lighten up on him. I mean i know that paint coming off the mudguards isnt a great deal to you and all, but it must be frustrating to know that a 5 week old car will be doing this. And he spent good money on this car too.

But back to your problem, i dont know wat to say.

the new nissan paint jobs suck. i am very disappointed. i only have 950 miles and there are several chips on the front bumper already. non of which took any paint off but the clear got messed up. my 300zx that had 220k miles barely had any chips.
