Received a call from dealer today that it appears there is an issue with the vendor they used to repaint the fascia before I bought it. He understands that the dealer's contract with that vendor places this under warranty work so it is anticipated that this will be rectified at no cost. Pretty excited to get that bit of news. Just hopeful that it looks good (it did when I bought it), and that is proves more lasting. Will give a final update when I pick the car up.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is why I use my local Nissan Collision Center which does all of the Infinity work, both dealerships under same ownership. As I said in my previous post, if they do the work (or contract it out) you have a shot. Keep us posted on the result.

I have to agree that my 04 hood chips (stones) pretty easily, and I took a pass on the paint shield option for the nose of the car when I took delivery. Believe it was also available for the rear quarter splash areas too. That product could be pealed off at a later date if desired, but I didn't like the fact that you could see the crease where the shield stopped and the bare paint continued. In retrospect, it was not a good idea to pass on that one, especially on a black car with an aluminum hood.
 
Stone chips on the front end become more problematic when you live in a climate where road salts, cinder, and sand are used to treat the roads in the winter for ice and snow.

Lexus/Toyota Paint might be worse by philster

Just a heads up to anyone ticked off about chipping on the Nissan/Infiniti cars: Toyota/Lexus owners might be in more of a frenzy than even the Nissan/Infiniti owners. Worse yet, the problem is linked to 'thin paint', so there is no fix.
 
I just came from a Toyota product and am 48 hours in a G35 Sport Coupe, and wasn't happy to see paint chipping issues here, too.
 
If an American car had these problems....
 
...bah, why bother?

Picked up my car a couple days ago and the bumper looks great. Really did a nice job. Just hope that is proves lasting. Great experience with the service guys at the dealership as well, which is a first for me!

rollbar,
im reading as much as i possibly can about this issue. i have an 07 black g35c. the pain/clear coat is unbelievably soft, and chips or scratches effortlessly. i know the paint is known to be weak, but i go to G35 club meets in my local area, and black 04's look amazing next to my chipped up 07 coupe. ive only got 12k miles on my car, and compared to an 04 with 80k+ there is clearly a paint issue. if possible id like to be able to contact you via Email and get any info i can from you. if this is possible please email me at Stevend219hotmail.com
