Spider Crack Appearing on 3 months old nissian Latio paint work
spiritlee:
Hi All here is the latest update. I banged table to TCM. I finally got to meet the big guy Mr Boo Boo Seng. He showed me that it was the clear coat lacquer that cracked. He polish it down and the surface was smoothen. After which i still made more noise and he agreed to respray the clear lacquer coating on roof,bonet and the boot. He has also offered to put a one time offer of heavy wax to "protect" the car. They even tried to convince me that all paint work is the same blah blah. Not sure what is going on either as i have observed only like 6 cars around my work area and my home. But these days i take extra care to make sure if i park under a tree, i will put a car cover on my car. Really weak paint work. Keep a couple of baby wet wipes nearby too they cme in really handy to get rid of bird ******** fast! But honestly, i am puzzled why the paint work can crack. I see other car makes not having this problem. My old Kelisa has armoured paint!!!!! While i am happy that he has taken steps to resolved my car issue. I am wondering why my paint work is so crappy.They could not give me a proper explaination either but keeps saying it is external factor. But still i love this car for it's fuel eficiency and it's super comfortable seats. Maybe after a couple of years i will respray it to yellow :P my fav colour!
clarence:
It really worries me that Latio paint is so thin and so many owners face problems with their paint. :nonod:

The paintwork is indeed fragile. I had mine park under a car and small twigs and what not fell, the paint actually chipped off the bumper and there's 2 black holes now on my white car. Touchup paint is crap, don't bother using it.
I would suggest you get a contact and write direct to Nissan Japan. A similar story for my cousin's Motorola phone he actually wrote to Hong Kong and the issue escalated back to upper management here in SG. Phone also can escalate, I'm sure you can fix your car problems.
Do it, I'm standing by you.
I'm quite sure that my crappy boot noise can be fixed, but SE simply gave me the "it's like that rah!" answer. I am damn pissed - I know it's freaking like that in every other car, that's why you must fix all the damn car lah!
iagree:

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 s*** 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.

bird shitssss is sickening. it might go deep into the paint n is hard to wash it off. i tried once, spent few min to clean it (but still can feel the 'rough' when i rub on that area)!
scratches is unavoidable also, just give and take. as long as it is not too serious/obvious.
regards.
