New cars get self-repairing paint
From: From correspondents in Tokyo

NISSAN claims its new car paint can repair its own scratches and scrapes.

The coating contains elastic resin and its rubbery surface can bounce back to repair itself of slight scratches caused by car-washing, off-road driving and fingernails, the company says.

The coat lasts about three years, the company said, and costs a few hundred dollars extra.

i agree... well worth it to stop having to pay "a few hundred dollars" to get a few stone chips, etc fixed

Has anybody heard of this being available in Oz yet?

[Dee]

this is the first i have heard of it, so no idea about when it will be available in aus.. ring nissan head office in aus

[oneightoo]

it'll prolly cost more than a couple of hundred bucks here when you buy a new car..

Agree with the above post, will probably end up costing more, due to it becoming a big selling feature I'm sure.

However it would be a good idea to see and feel this finish as well, before getting it.

It might look dull and if it feels rubbery, it will attract more dirt which will stick to it.
