Hi Bros and sis,
                      has any one encountered any cracking or spider web like crack patterns on the paint work of their nissian latio. Mine is only 3 months old it already has such an issue. According to TC bukit timah, it was caused by external factors.  According to them some tree sap or bird ******** could have fallen on it. and when it dried up could have caused it to crack. Would like to find out if anyone here in this forum is also facing the same problem. In addition, i also find that the pain work scratches easily.

Would be most grateful if anyone can share.

Paint is indeed very fragile. I think i was parking under a tree and a small twig kena my bumper. i tot the two black spots are dirt.. but when i look closer. no! they are holes! sian  :crying:

touch up paint is useless. makes a big mess. throw them away.

Hi Bro,

So did TC repaint/repair it for u FOC? Tree sap/or bird ******** wont crack the paints i tink (fr my personal experience on paints), the most stains it with some "cloudy/blur" pattern, not to the extend of cracking it.. u can argue with them if it is so easily "cracked" by tree sap/or bird shits, then lots of cars will have this problem.. car paints should have some basic protection against crack, cos the sun/weather condition will easily crack them if a bird ******** can crack them too..

Wondering how ur cracks looks like, does it cracked till the lower layer paints, or mayb jus outside "dried crack" pattern which stil can b polished off (not affecting the paints layer)? Check it out..

Hi bro,

Sounds like your paintwork quite fragile...for me no spidercrack yet since got my ride for aby 19mths ago...regular grooming interval of abt 1/2 year might have helped...but I did notice at least 2 chip-off in my front bonnet  :mad: Think its due to one of those big cement mixer or truck which tyres hit the small stones & hit back to cars behind... :nonod:

HI guys thanks for your reply appreciate it. As i suspected our latio paint work is pretty fragile . I feel that our paint work is more fragile then other cars. That's my personal opinion. I dun have a special meter to measure how thick the paint really is.


Yes i Have paint chipson my bonet too. Pretty normal just stay clear of the cement trucks. I drive to Tuas all the time.


TCs response was not very good i spent 3 hrs arguing with them and still they refused to repair. They claim not responsible.That they have no controlover where I park my car. When i told them that the  that must be some super JIAO or super Tree. They retracted their statement saying they not sure what it could be blah blah. They even asked me to goto other spray work shops for 3rd opinion. They were damn sure it was not their paint work and were willing to goto the extend of actually debating with the other spray shops painter. Just to prove their point.In the end they just offer me to respray the affected portions.....of coz must $$$$$ lor. almost $500 over. I useto drive a lousy Malaysian car called the Kelisa. Small little thing. That car has an armoured paint work. Be it ******** or sap or what every nothing affects it. Really cool. ONly thing is the service center manager sucks big time.


The crack looks like a crack on the wind screen. The outer lacquer layer has buldge out. The inner layer is still protected. Just worried that my entire car might start to u know crack........ polishing will not help. Instead it might polish alway the remaining lacquer layer. The paint inner layer looks like it has been pulled away but the primer layer seems to be intact.

Overall i am pretty unhappy with the way TC bukit Timah handled the case .I feel that I have been given unfair treatment......My Car is only 3 months old.... Sigh.Nice car but crappy paint work.Any advice in dealing with them?
