I am not sure what to call this but has anyone experienced this paint issue? Any solutions? I’m pretty sure Nissan wouldn’t cover this so any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

No one has any thoughts on this?

 

Not on my 2017 SL, but it is garage-kept and treated with wash, wax, and UV protection on headlights and all external plastics at least monthly. Is this on the A-pillar, left front? Looks like top-coat erosion on plastic and acrylic headlight lens due to UV and heat. No. Do not even ask Nissan at this stage of the game.

 

Thanks for the reply. My car sits outside at work all day so it gets constantly pounded by the Florida sun.

But, is there anything I can have done to fix or repair this?

 

If this were mine and I wanted to save a dime I would do the following:
1. Do "wet or dry" sanding of surface to remove the clear coat top layer. Read up on wet or dry prep prior to painting any surface. Basically it entails buying several sheets of wet/dry sandpaper. Start with maybe 400 grit and finish with 100 grit and then 50 grit. As you sand the clear coat you will be spraying plain water on to the surface. As the finish is removed it will form a thin slury which you can wipe off as you go. The water will not hurt the sandpaper as it is designed to be used wet. The water will also keep the paper from clogging up with removed material. One sheet can go a long time.
2. When you have the surface reasonably smooth, make it squeaky clean with soap and water and finish the cleaning with 91% alcohol. Personally I would use lacquer thinner but a novice might mess up the plastic so don't.
3. Once ready to paint, mask off the area on a very dry, calm day. I'd use gloss black paint followed up with two to three coats of clear coat. Check with your local auto supply store for materials and recommended paint type.

I know I may be forgetting something, but this is pretty close. You might also go to YouTube and type in plastic auto trim repainting, or something similar.

Good luck and report back if you have questions.
