Factory Paint Defects and Other Rants!
^ Agreed. I have personally seen other Gs and spoken to other owners with the same complaint. Doesn't take a genius to come to the conclusion this is a factory issue, common sense is enough. The paint on my father's '66 holds up better... and that thing has been put through the ringer (um... that's 48 years...).

Couldn't care if it was made out of vegetable oil. Shouldn't flake. Simple concept. Particularly when paint on other comparable brands hold up much better.

Appreciate your insight, and that is probably true... but my eye ***** don't lie. And I wasn't born yesterday. I will re-iterate: ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL (hope I don't need to explain this meaning), it is poor quality.

Peeling, Bubbling, Factory Paint Defect?
I have a 2005 G35 Sedan. Of course I have small dings and chips but in the last 90 days my hood started doing this! This does not seem like normal wear and tear. Yes, the car is 9 years old, yes I know the warranty ran out but damn....this is pretty bad.

I spoke to a reputable body shop a couple weeks ago and he simply said Japanese paint, particularly Nissan, was thinner and poorer than the German brands. This is simply what he said, I have no evidence to support.

Well, guess I'll call Infiniti customer care and see what they say. Other than that, guess it is $500 bucks for a hood paint job. 
Or just some white spray paint to at least keep it from flaking anymore. Looks so ghetto.....
