Hello Crew whats up well does anybody know how much this stuff cost from the dealer? I want to get some prices from other people that bought some from there dealer and does it actulally have the same coloring match on the grey with the little silver flakes or whator what notBecause a semi chunked a pebble rock and chip my hood doesnt this suck i want it to match right

 

Should be like 5 bux from the dealer, least that was what I was told. Gonna go tomorrow to get mine, he had to order it!?!

 

to be doing a lot of t.u. withe the Gray Lustre....mine lookes like it has dandruff and I've only had it 6 months...well not quite that bad but it does chip real easy and the front bumper seems real soft to gouges

 

four bux here i think. but i got it for free. hahah they so nice.

 

2 bux in texas!

 

Hey, how about a group deal on Grey Lustre touch up paint!

If we get enough can we reduce the price to nothing?


JK. I'm not THAT cheap!

 

i had my max for a month before i noticed the damn paint chipping, so i took it in to the dealer and they touched up the paint and gave me a nosemask for free. i have a super black max and the nose mask looks good on it. it even helps deflect the wind. i think nosemasks are like $90 at http://www.nissan-accessories.com

 

Nose Masks damage the paint even more. The water gets trapped under it and creates a lot of problems. Also, when it gets hot again and you get water under there and then the mask dries out, it leaves a sticky residue on the hood. Friend of mine sold his car and was going to take the mask off. Well, he peeled it off, leaving behind the worst residue you could have on your hood. If you want some protection, you have to get that 3M mask.

 

[available everywhere] have touch-up paint to match the Gray Lustre. I have use the Paintscratch version, and it looks fine...

 

I been seeing a lot of Maxima's getting chips from the road, myself included. In the Nissan Maxima brochure it shows that our cars got though some sort of diamond test where they shoot diamonds at the paint to see if it chips. You would think little pebbles on the road should not chip your paint that easily if they test it with diamonds!!!

 

I think they stopped referring to that diamond test in the 2001 brochure!

 

Hey Xtant - I inquired about the nose mask when I bought my car - the thing is you have to remove it everytime it gets wet and have to take it off periodically to allow the paint to breathe - you also have to keep it extremely clean underneath - So if you live in a rainy area like seattle, it would be useless... but in Nevada or Arizona, it would be great. There is a company out there that has magnetic ones for around 200.00 or so, possibly a better option, I don;t know. The point is, I think overall, the Max's body is going to require a little extra care throughout its lifetime.
