What colour do you have? My coupe is black (KH1) and it's by far the worst paint I've ever had. It's single layer and chips if you look at it angrily...hahaha

Yeah, that's the one. "Super Black" is turd-riffic...
Best advice from me is to invest in some of that 3M clear protectant. It'll save you a helluva lot of headache with owning a car with that craptastic black paint.

It's just prone to chipping thats all... I just think its a bit too brittle... But I don't have any other nissans, and cant vouch for the veracity of other paints.. I'm not really hating on the color, I love the way it looks...

It's a cheap-a**, single layer paint. Why you would ever have a black paint job with only one layer is quite beyond me. Within about five months (about 8000kms), the front end of my car had more visible chips in it than my last car which was five years old and had 60,000+kms on the clock. Don't get me wrong though...I think it looks GREAT in black. I just think Nissan did a s***ty job giving us such a poor quality paint. When I get my cube, it's gonna be the yummy triple-layer white paint they use on the Murano and the 370Z!

I have the same paint on my Cube. Got a few chips but I haven't noticed anything that my poor driving habits didn't cause.

Does anyone have this problem with the Caribbean Blue? Maybe I should invest in a bra or something?

Clear vinyl is also good if you don't want a bra. But I don't know if it yellows or messes up the paint whe you peel it off.

Yeahh, I'm having the same problem! I'm from North Jersey and lately we have been driving around in heavy amounts of salt, so it kicks up and unfortunately leaving little specks and chips around the grill and bumper area. Any suggestions besides getting a car bra to fix the problem?
