paint chip pictures

I have an 03 Grey Lustre GLE with several paint chips on the hood, and on the corners of the trunk. I am trying to get this resolved with Nissan, with no luck. If anyone has any pics of their Max with chipping paint, please post them here for me. Thank You!

There are lots of old threads about this. All cars have water-based paint now that chips easier. Try one of the clear film shields by 3M. See
