TOKYO (Dec. 2, 2005)-- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., has developed the world’s first clear paint that repairs scratches on painted car surfaces, including scratches from car-washing machines, off-road driving and fingernails.

“Scratch Guard Coat” contains a newly developed high elastic resin that helps prevent scratches from affecting the inner layers of a car’s painted surface. With “Scratch Guard Coat” a car’s scratched surface will return to its original state anywhere from one day to a week, depending on temperature and the depth of the scratch.

The water-repellant paint also has a higher resistance to scratches compared with conventional clear paints. A vehicle painted with “Scratch Guard Coat” will have only one-fifth the abrasions caused by a car-washing machine compared with a car covered with conventional clear paint. Scratches from car-washing machines account for the majority of scratches to painted car surfaces.

“Scratch Guard Coat” is effective for about three years.

“Scratch Guard Coat” will be applied for the first time on an SUV model that is scheduled for a partial makeover in the near future. The paint will be applied to the car’s chassis, bumpers, door mirrors, among other parts.

Excellent. Scratches suck.

 

yeah, nissan of all car makers NEEDS a scratch resistant/chip resistant paint.

Nissan paint is the most crappiest paint I have personally experienced on cars I owned...

 

You never lied. My mother has a g35 and the paint on there is terrible.The shit chips so easily compared to my Accord.

 

I wonder if this was developed by Nissan, or licensed from these dudes: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=182615

 

there are a number of companies that offer scratch resistant paint. hell, even the guys @ "House of Kolor" have a line of it.

 

I'd guess that.

 

3 years? so is this something that can be applied to any paint?
