Nissan introduces "Self Healing Paint" - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Nissan has developed an awesome new paint. The Scratch Guard Coat is a clear paint, made from synthetic resin that will offer cars with stronger resistance to scratches. Not only does it resist scratches from car-washing machines (the main culprit of scratches) 5 times better than conventional paint, it can even “heal” itself of any light scratches. Depending on the seriousness of the scratch and the surrounding temperature, it can take anywhere from a day to a week to repair itself.

This water-repelling paint will debut as an optional feature on Nissan’s X-Trail SUV. For a mere 52,500 yen (£251, US$435), they’ll coat your new X-Trail with this magical paint. If the response is good, I’m sure we’ll see this paint available for every other Nissan vehicles very soon.

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.
