Anyone else having the paint chipping off the edges of the hood?

Sorry to see that. I don't have any yet. Turtle Wax has a wax called chipstix or something like that that has a stick to fill in come chips and then buff out. It worked really good on my old acura. it's worth a shot.

Was the hood repainted? The paint is leaving the hood and iwill rust up soon. Get it repainted fast to stop it from spreading.

Nope thats factory paint, but its not down to bare metal......yet. I noticed it at the start of winter and it survived all the salt so i guess i'm safe from rust for now.

Are you sure that hood hasn't been re-painted? Did you buy the PF new? I'm way skeptical that factory paint would do that. Sorry, but it looks like a cheap, ham-fisted Maaco job to me.

I bought with 50k on it, but it was one owner and i met the lady who traded it in. That would be a hard color to blend there would be some sign that it was sprayed. Lots of people have had problems with roof channels chipping and i've seen fenders on frontiers chipping and peeling all factory paint so who knows. I'm possitive its factory.

I've noticed the clear coat on my roof is starting to peel right next to that channel. Also in the inside of my fenderells on the driver and passenger side.

That sucks! Luckly the hood is the only problem area for me. I mean look at this frontier though! We sure got some crappy paint!

Yeah, the roof channels have been an issue for several folks. First time, though, that I've seen this hood-edge problem. It just looks very suspicious to this non-tech.

Again, that looks like a crappy re-paint. If that's truly original factory paint, a lot of us are in for serious problems!

That pealing on the fender looks horrible. Stuff like that should be covered under some kind of extend warranty by Nissan.
