My Front bumper is having a hard life. First, it gets banged up from hitting the ramps in my garage. Now, the paint is peeling from the passenger side fenderwell area. It is just falling off. I just noticed it today when I was washing my car. YOu can see the plastic bumper itself.

So, now I get to call up the dealer, and argue with them to try to get it repainted under warranty. They better do it.

I knew the paint on my front bumper was messed up from the factory, but this is silly! The car is less than 4 months old! I definetly expected more from Nissan. In addition to the paint falling off, I had probably 30 or so sizable chips on the front bumper aswell. Heck, I think the friction of the wind hitting the bumper is enough to take the paint off.

Oh well, I'll keep you guys informed on what happens.

Wow Max, I did notice the same thing with my old bumper! After the body shop installed a new one and painted it, it looks totally brand new. I think the dealership should take care of it, it's bull****.

Ahh gotta love Nissan's paint jobs. You don't know how many b13's I've seen lately with half peeled paint ALL OVER the body. I mean, is that how my car is going to look after 7 years or so??? Maybe I won't have to wait that long.

Let us know how what happens with the dealer, Maxx.

On my '89 Max the paint is peeling off the front bumper. Was like that when I bought it a year and a half ago (just worse now). Haven't gotten around to getting it fixed.

I took the car into the dealer today. They are going to have a Independent Paint Contractor come out and evaluate my situation. The Service writer said that they would most likely repaint the bumper. *yay*

Now, if I can find a way to get my Stillen spoiler painted at the same time, I will really be happy!

Yep, if I get my spoilerette, then I was going to take it to the guys that did my hood and bumper. They did a magnificent job on the paint.

This paint thing may develop into something bigger. I had a '92 Corsica which I bought as a progtam car. The paint in one or two places felt rougher than the rest of the car. I took it back to the dealer and he said "no problem" he buffed it out. I gave the car to my daughter. A couple of years later I found out that GM had a big problem in the early nineties. I told her about it and they repainted it. That paint job was also lacking in quality and two years later the dealer repainted it ---- again----. I now have the car back again- damn it looks good.

My point is: you may get a paint job- or maybe 2 some day.

Later
