Paint durability....
How can you compare the paint brand/application/durability of a japanese car made in Hiroshima, with that of a Camry, made in Ohio?
Talk about Apples and Orangutans........

I think I do a pretty good job avoiding them altogether though.
I'm VERY happy at how durable VW paint is!

I hope the paint brand is not CIL. It is supposedly some low quality American paint found on some Japanese cars because it is very cheap. If it is BASF then its ok.

Since Nissan seems to have the worst Paint out of all the Japanese Makers, If anyone knows what paint brand they use, please let us know. Thank you.

Whoops, guess he saw my original post before I did the quick edit. Apologies TiRX8 that was uncalled for on my part and I regretted it immediately and changed the post.

... TiRX8, you're getting a little bit bratty.
there was no need to instigate a tiff with Lensman, who on the whole is a good-natured member of the forum, and is clearly interested in what the brand the paint is. you were persistant in your questioning, and contributed nothing while still filling up the page, which IS annoying. Lensman was simply suggesting in a polite way what any of us would.
things got slightly out of hand, but let's have this as an end to it, eh??

A good friend of my who own a panel shop(BMW authorised repairer) told me that Mazda paint is one of the best in the market at the moment. Mazda and Lexus. Their paint is much better quality than Mercedes, BMW etc. Because they are still using solvent base paint, not water base like European car. While Subaru's paint is one of the worst, he said. I also know for the fact because I own a 2002 Sti.

Australia, and we are very jealous with American people. The RX8 costing us about 68,000 Australian for manual 6sp.
44,000 USD). The M3 about 160,000AUD(104,000USD).
