May be getting into an 08 G35xs if my car can't be fixed. Is the paint better? Or still shitty

 

HAHAhahah, still gets scratch by just looking at it!!

 

dam..lol what year did they change it up? 09?

 

All the Gs paint sucks haha.

You thinking about trading up then??

 

yes trading up if not able to fix soon..depending on how much they will give me for mine



1 bird dropping today..on my car for about 2 hours..now major etching..have to buff it tomorrow to try and get it out

 

I read a review that the g37 has self curing paint but I highly doubt it!!

 

Every car that I have had, and spent time on forums discussing, has had the reputation of having soft paint.

Infiniti G
BMW E46
Subaru WRX
Lincoln LS
Camaro Z28

The bumpers on the other cars developed a lot of nicks so on the G I got paint protectant film and it has worked great so far. The rest of the paint on all of them has held up great for me, but I wax often.

 

^^^ My 95 Bronco and 98 GP had better paint...thats messed up

 

Apparently it was a gimmick and thats why the cars are no longer made with it.

 

Yeah, every time I detail the G, there's like 10 more fine scratches...it's annoying as hell.

Getting another G Steve?

 

My guess is late 90s/early 2000s cars may have still used older paint blends, whereas newer car are probably using more environmentally friendly paint (no VOCs or maybe water based?) I have seen a lot of people complain of soft paint on the 06 and up Civic Si, and some other cars i looked at when I considered the G. Toyota changed their paint process in 08, but I will say my sisters 07 and my moms 02 have very tough paint. They sit unwashed, covered in sap and bird **** for weeks, and no marks. My roof on the other hand is covered in white/rough spider web looking spots where sap got burned in. I got swirls too, my buds new 135 has swirl issues as well. Hopefully the figure out how to make hard paint before i get my next car.

 

My 09s paint is just as pathetic as my 07s The self-healing feature does work though, the small swirls and light scratches do flow back into the clear coat when you leave it out in the sun. The 50+ chips I have aren't healing though
BTW, what happened to your car Anton, since your motor was re-done??

 

The paint on my S4 was 10x better then my G. I would say the paint is the most disappointing part of this car

 

go to G37 forums .... still argue about the paint in their 09-10

 

Anton didn't u just get ur 07 fixed after like 2 months ????
