Comeon Youknow the saying "Once you go Black you never want to go Back"

 

Well i have had a black coupe (owned for 2 years, took care of since new in 2003) and im going to say DO NOT GET A BLACK G35. Infiniti put by far the worst paint job i have ever seen on this car IMO. The paint is EXTREMELY soft and scratches like hell, swirls like hell, and holograms like hell. Basically in simple words the paint SUCKS! I am extremely pissed off about how crappy the paint is. I have owned 2 black cars prior to this one and neither one of them had half the problems the paint on the g35 has.

If you use tire gel and it gets on the paint, your **** out of luck, it goes through the clear coat and then wont come off. Unless you have it professionally repainted. You can put polish on it and it will hide it for a couple days then it appears out of no.

Since black becomes dirty so fast you have to wash it a lot, which means that wax and polish disintegrate easier (obviously the more you wash the more that comes off) which then means that since you don’t have polish and wax on it all the holograms and swirls show 100 times more than they would.

I say go with white just so you do not become so pissed off like me. White will hide the swirls, hide the scratches (more than black), and will be easier to keep clean.

Ivory pearl (white) took my vote! Black is beautiful when it has been fully detailed and is clean, but the quality of the paint on the g35 is just crap.

This is another thing that sucks about black cars! Unless you have a $1000 dollar camera that can accommodate for almost no light at night then a black car sucks IMO. If you take a picture of a black car and there is nothing in the background then you cant even see what the car looks like since it blends in with the dark background. The only way black looks good is if you have EXTREME bright lights and or in a parking garage where the roof of the car can not blend in with the black of night.

Sean,

You need to use better products IMO..My buds 03 with 78k on the clock
still looks great. Then again he doesn't use crap products. Not saying you
do. he still has the chips up front but...everything else is great

 

I have actually been using pinnacle car care products for along time and before that it was only meguires NXT...i have 87K miles and the paint looks like a$$. I also live in florida home of semis dropping rocks out of their trailers and all the rain strips the wax off after 2 showers. It is beautiful when it has been waxed and all the swirls are filled, but tell your friend to wash his car with dawn detergent so it strips all the wax off and then pull it out in dirrect sunlight and tell me that the paint looks great when all the defects are not filled in.

I see your point BUT thats why we use good products so you
dont see the "after dawn" wash because you never have to
strip off products. NXT will last about 10 days or maybe
5 days with acid rain. Cant speak for Pinn line but Menzerna
rocks n rolls..

 

OB is the other color i would have gotten had i not bought a DG. the black rims on a black car with a chrome lip is uber sexy!

Both colors a bitch to keep clean!
