I have a brickyard Z with just over 15000. I do alot of highway driving for my job. I have almost 20 chips although very small they were clear down to the primer. I am in the process of raising hell. It will get fixed or I will park outside the dealer with a sign and show my car as an example as to what a new buyer should expect. Maybe that will get someones attention. I hope I can find a legal way to do this. I will at least threaten them to expose this and the many complaints on this site as evidence.

If this does not help does anyone know how this can be repaired. I was laready told by experts that never is a second paint job as good as from the manufacturer. They say you can even have more chips.

I will sell this car if they cant repair before it gets any worse. Just think what all these will look like in 3 years? ? ? Bummer.

I feel your pain.
Do you have a clear bra installed?
I had one put on my Z after I had the car for about two weeks and it has all but eliminated any rock chips on the front bumper or hood.

 

Thanks...........What company sells the clear bra? Any suggestions on what is the best way to repair these chip holes?

you're actually lucky to have a few at 15k miles... I have 3K miles on my silverstone and Probably have about 10 very visible and at least 50 small chips on my bumper...

 

Have you tried touch-up paint? I have heard good things about using this product with touch-up paint. Gets rid of the GLOB.

Hope this helps.

 

It is unfortunate, but as a 350z owner myself, I have to say they do not have the best paint finish. I beleive both Motor Trend and C&D both gave the paint a poor rating. I do quite a bit of highway driving, and a couple trips with no bra has made the front bumper a little rough from bug impacts. The paint seems soft as nail polish on the front end. Ohh well.... thats why House of Colours is in business.
