Hi guys, I have a black max, that was in perfect condition, but we have to many cars at our house, and not enough room in the garage for all of them. So my car sits outside in the sun 24/7 and now my bumper looks like crumbled up saran wrap, because the sun "melted" the paint I believe. I know the only way to fix it, is paint it...but once I do that is there anyway to prevent it from happening? I've seen lots of black cars that sit outside and not do that It's even starting to effect my hood as well.

thanks guys!

 

WHOA

that's a new one....

never seen car paint melt in the sun! i can't imagine what that is.... just really really really ****ty paint?

 

I guess so

it's factory.

It's still all black but its all crumbled like saran wrap...like the clear coat is peeling off or something.

But like I said, it was in near perfect condition when I got it... not even a year ago.

 

o.. clearcoat failure. time to repaint

 

gah, and I'm sure It'll cost a couple hundred to repaint the bumper, atleast?

 

if it was a quality paint job it wouldnt have happened in the first place. The place I get stuff painted has lifetime warantee on stuff like this so maybe find a good shop that has a warantee, fading, peeling, discoloring, orangepeeling, ect.

BTW Kami, is that your name or do you do metal work?

 

ty for tips nismo I'll look into it hehe.

na, not my name...and I can't even do paper work, let alone metal work

 

What year is your maxima? I never heard a paint will do that in the sun. There something not right. Very unusual.

 

98. I've only had it for about 10 months or so.
