jaxx Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 ive had a few people tell me now that im still under warranty by nissan regarding the paint work. now i aint opening up a big debate on the quality of paint used.....i know it isnt the best. But i have a few rust spots on my roof right at the front (drivers side) and they could be stone chips but they look more like rust spots that have got worse over time. any opinions guys? its a 57 plate Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxx Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 you recon its a manufacturer thing or will they just turn there back and say its an untreated stone chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Paint warranty is 6 years I think, so yes, you're still covered, but, they will say its a stone chip, even though it's on the roof where you are extremely unlikely to get one.

jaxx Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 thought it was longer than 6 years.....im out by a month then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Paint warranty is only 3 years. Perforation from corrosion is 6 years or 12 years depending on the vehicle. So paint is only 3 years. :surrender: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxx Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 its corrosion, rust! defo, ill post some pics up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Worth a try, nothing to loose. Rust causes corrosion which has caused the paint issue so no problem in my book, the rust pre-dates the paint therefore the 6 year warranty applies Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I am looking into this right now too. Corrosion/perforation cover is 12 years. However if it is intact an untreated stone chip then you are out luck. Which could well be that on the roof - I also have a few of those. But, if it is rust bubbling or starting to come through from underneath then you might have a chance. I also read they nissan will check your service history as apparently there are stamps for paint checks. No stamps = No warranty work. Let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 If you do find rust from a stone chip or whatever I'd recommend treating it with "Krust" then painting over it with a touch up pen to try and stop it getting worse. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_191362_langId_-1_categoryId_165594 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Gear your self up with evidence and pop into Nissan and ask. If all else fails, give us a ring if you want the paint work sorting. Though stone chips on the roof is very unlikely, we've resprayed quite a few zed roofs which has rusted so I'd say its quite common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
