Refresh bump since we have a lot of new 2010 owners If we get enough replies maybe Infiniti will take notice that the paint issue needs to be dealt with.

To all the people that are complaining about the paint:

i have the 09 in MW. the paint is soft...but the good thing is the self healing aspect of it. light scratches actually do go away in a few days.

kinda reminds me of footprints in sand... LOL

Mine is OB, and i would venture to say that all the 09 paint is soft but the OB is softer than any of the other colors

I have a 2010 g37 sedan, OB, with swirl marks galore. My 2006 maxima has much better paint quality than this car. Expected more from a 40k dollar car. But i still love my G.

When you guy found paint that can withstand rocks shooting @ 80 miles an hour, let me know. it is a coat of paint, not texture coating.

I had a cheap Dodge Caliber that I drove the exact same route I do now with my G. My step-daughter now has the Caliber. After 2 years on my commute and another two with her driving it, there are still no nicks in the paint. My G has more than I can count.

Terrible durability. I thought my Acura was bad. This is even worse and the car was about 5k more!
