ya think!?


Mine is a 98 and it has many little nicks and scratches. It gets worse by the day. it's true
I got it, it was pretty clean, at least one of the cleanest of the 40+ maximas I've seen that day. Damn Superblack paint.
I think White is the best, cleanest color for a Max.

I agree 100%. Sterling Mist looks great on the showroom floor, but I can not keep the paint on the car. Bumpers especially!

I don't know about 4th gens, but my 3rd gen Pearl White paint is still in perfect condition. It's still the original paint, and it has barely any scratches and just a couple chips (that aren't noticeable). Plus, it seems to be the perfect color for not showing the dirt, which helps when you're as lazy as I am with washing it.

The factory paint on my 87 max was good, it didn't start chipping until the car got hit in the front. Even then that was 8 years after we bought the car. We enjoyed our MAXIMA .
