Well, I just counted all the paint chips on the front bumper and hood of my 01 and I wonder if I have a record. I counted 48 chips, some the size of a match head, I have scratches on every single panel on the car, it's starting to look like crap. I drive on city streets, no dirt, no highways and it just gets worse every day. My 94 T-bird on the same streets had 2, count em 2! chips total after 9 years. How much to repaint the front bumper/hood would you think? I want to tear Nissan apart for it, almost worth getting rid of the car over its so bad. Also, will touch up paint just make me cry because it looks so bad?

 

That many chips? Touch up will make you want to throw up...the car will look like it has chicken pox (unless you really spend time on them).

 

I've heard there's a good process for touch ups, I have the patience, but repainting may be the solution, depending on price I guess.

 

If you have that many, I would just have the whole hood redone.

 

Please, Oh Please, tell me you have yourself signed up in the Nissan Paint Litigation - Class Action Suit that this Florida Law Firm has set up for us p/o'ed maxima owners all over the U.S.

 

I don't yet, but I guess I should get in

 

I don't see that thread anymore about the paint litigation.

 

I have 43 chips per square inch!

 

Damn!!! I thought mine was bad.

 

hey dude...looks like ur car got caught in a driveby in NYC....

 

Wow, I guess I'm not near as bad off as I thought. I'm in AZ so I won't get any action from the lawsuit, even though I just signed up. Ah well, no one has a good bumper/hood paint price?

 

That may be a record, but I'm gaining on you - 30+ in my 2k3

Still can't touch Maximam though

And yes, I'm signed up for the Texas lawsuit

 

thats nothing, i can't even count them.

 

That sucks dude. May be something about Tucson because I have around 10 paint chips on my hood and thats it.

 

I've never seen any other cars screwed like 2000+ Nissans here, the roads are pretty damn good too

 

Hey! That looks like my car! My hood consists of 40% touchup paint!

 

damn that looks bad...i think i got pretty lucky w/ my hood, and paint overall, only 1 chip on the front so far...also other things like rotors and tranny too, no real problems...
monday maxima?
holla

 

Those pics make the hood on my 2K look like new!

 

Ya I have major reason to mod/paint my Max now. AE lights and lip will compliment the new paint.

 

damn bro, you make me feel relieved i only have a few.... repaint that hood bro!

 

Is that the Big Dipper I see? oh, that's your hood. Sorry dude, thought it was the sky at night

Maybe Nissan should change the slogan to SHIFT_tck_Repaint

Not only do I have a slew of paint chips, but I have several rock chips in my windshield as well (thanks to a recent trip to FL where I got stuck behind a truck hauling a mobile home).
