Winning Season Please! Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I just puchased a new G35 sedan (red) and their seems to be swirl marks in the paint. It is all uniform over the car and the dealer rebuffed and waxed it but is telling me it is the "cross paint process" that makes this affect and is most noticable right from the factory and should fade soon. Does anyone have any knowledge about if this is true or if they are just feeding me crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPinstripe Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Sorry to disapoint you. I think they are feeding you crap. Swirl marks do not fade. I have never heard of this before. A friend of mine is a painter and I have seem him paint cars... They do not have swirl marks. Swirl marks are scratches that do not go away with time. I would have them get me a new car.

mjah Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm not a paint expert, but I have done factory flow consulting work in automotive paint facilities and learned a fair deal about it. Unless you got the Delorean stainless steel body option, you should not be seeing swirly scratches in your new car's finish. The factory paint process is so incredibly sensitive to even the tiniest atmospheric defect or glitch, it's amazing that they get so many paint jobs right the first time. Screwed-up factory paint is not unheard of. Or is this a botched post-factory patch up job that they aren't telling you about? Either way, it's not normal and I would insist on a car without the Mister Miyagi effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twa Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well I'm not a expert,but I have painted cars for 3/4 of my life. They are likely buffing marks and can be removed by anyone that knows what they are doing. Only possible way to get swirl marks otherwise is the substrate under the paint to have them(which in a factory job is unheard of) cross paint process huh?....I'll have to try that line next time I'm lazy. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I just googled "cross paint process" and got exactly zero results. Is it possible that this car, although new, has already been repainted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgun88 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 you should have went with black........ He said he had a sedan bro. Not a coupe. G35 coupes are freaking suck cars. They are definalty my favorite ride as of right now. Hopefully in a couple years I can get one and put a turbo in that *****. I'll make her real fast.

stevenaa Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The guys who "rebuffed" it were probably a couple of $7/hr. porters. Ask to have an inspection of the car by the Infinity District Service manager. Don't go unsatisfied and don't accept a repaint. Insist on getting the vehicle replaced if a professional can't buff out the marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to give you a new car and tell that **** to the next sucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmonkforHOF Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Definetly take that thing back and demand eithe a new car or a new paint job. I would love ot buy a G35 coupe, but up here in Canada the base price of a coupe-G35 not G37 which we dont have here yet for some reason- is about $50,000. and I believe they base price for about $35,000-$37,000 in the US. That made sense a few years ago when our dollar was worht about 70-75 cents US, but now with the 2 currencies being so close to parity the prices need to come down. Or I will just have to buy my new car in the US and bring it back. BTW, you are a very, very very smart man for buying an Infiniti with Nissan's VQ series engine. One of the most reliable V6's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross paint process? LOL, what a load of ****. The shop detailers buffed the **** out of it and destroyed the paint in the process, return the car if it bothers you. A detail specialist might be able to cut it and buff the swirl marks out, espescially if it's clearcoated. Not something I'd want to go through on a brand new car though.
