I have a 2000 Maxima and the paint is chipping on my hood as well as other areas. Is there even a point to call nissan?

 

probably not....is it out of warranty, if yes then don't bother.

Did you buy it new? did you wax the car as often as you should've?

 

The paint chip is a well known issue with the 5th gen. It's incredibly easy for the paint to get chips. I think Nissan also knows the issue, but just lazy to do something about it.

calling them is like expecting a burglar to return stolen HIDs (also a problem with these cars)

 

I have a 2000 Black Max that I bought last Sept. I baby the car and have ****ing paint chips all over the hood. It is frustrating. I don't know what to do. I guess get it painted and then get the 3M clear bra? Frustrating.

 

I got it brand new I wax it wash it i mean i practically lick the car. It is really ****ing me off cause a new paint job will dent the wallet.

 

NISSAN PAINT SUCKS

 

Damn right it does...

 

There is a law firm that is specializing in a class action suit agains Nissan claiming they knew the paint would chip.

I like my Max so much that I wax the thing like every week.

 

that sucks guys....my 02 altima had a ****ty paint job, I clay bared it, glazed it, waxed it....finish was still sub-par.

When I got this 03 Maxima, the paint looked better than the Altima but I guess still not the best, but for $22k, hey I'm not complaining!

Where can I get one of these clear bars while my car is still chip-free?
