Default Question about paint...

I've been thinking of getting an fg2 in the somewhat near future i love everything about this car and have heard some bad things about paint being easy to ship and of poor quality anyone have any problems with this?

it does chip easy, but its not so bad. Some people complain about the orange peel effect but you cant get $40,000 car paint on a lower $20,000 car.

NHBP is insane to keep clean i am starting to get sick of it ive never owned a black car before so i didnt know what i was getting myself into i also had a rr si on order but didnt want to wait so i got the nhbp. I kinda regret that but people love it and stare at it when its clean plus it has that stealth look but i find mini scratches and stuff all the time on this car i dont know where it comes from the paint is def not top notch.

I recently gave mine a full body wax, helps keep the dirt from sticking.
