My car is non-metallic BLACK and so far I'm very impressed.... Hardly any fine scratches, at least compared to my wife's moro blue S4 (which does have swirl marks).....

I have B. Silver on mine and it does have two very, very small scratches. One on the front part of the driver's side door and one little scratch/nick on the back lid. You definitely can't see them unless I point them out and you get down there and look real close but one on the driver's side is a little deep. Maybe a rock chip? Definitely don't think it's from a car door b/c of how it's scratched. But I'm sure if it wasn't nano-paint, it would possibly have more fine scratches/nicks.

Nick (not the nicks on my car...just me Nick - lol)

I have an obvious scratch on my hood but no rock chips. I'm driving up to Vegas tomorrow see if we get any rock chips with a few hours of 90+ driving.

I had two very tiny black spots on hood front near the grill and - they are looked the same cracks like Nickerz's; and I agree what he said. It can be worse if not nano-paint.

So far no problems... I'm very impressed with this paint.

My Audi swirls just by looking at it. I have to use Menzerna INtensive Polish and Final Polish with a random orbital every year on the Audi. I suspect I wont' even need it on the C55 - the paint is so perfect.
