Paint failure does not qualify as ’ dangerous ’ . Are you the only one , who knows . But you are out of the warranty period so don’t expect any help from Nissan . ---

If you do lots of highway driving this will happen. You need to buy automotive touch-up paint in the correct color for your car - look to the internet, Nissan dealer or auto parts store - and touch up those chips as soon as you see them. Properly done, it will keep the spot from rusting and look better, too. ---

> [@Mustangman](#): > > If you do lots of highway driving this will happen. +1 The amount of grit and pebbles that are thrown-up by the tires of 18 wheelers–and _especially_ by the very large dump trucks whose mud flaps always seem to be at least 18 inches too short–will cause any car that is frequently driven on a highway to develop chips in the paint, especially on the hood and the leading edge of the roof. Rather than being a brand-specific problem, this is simply the reality of highway driving, and the OP should touch-up the chips as soon as possible in order to avoid rust problems. ---

You are not the only one with Nissan paint problems, it is a common sight, you might need a gallon of touch-up paint and a roller. ![Nissan Rogue paint peeling](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/1/8/1814b3dfb2a348abf6b1351fe8dd9969a3cd6e92.jpeg) ---

Are you saying you are going to paint this car yourself ? Maybe you should contact a detail shop and a local paint shop first. I can almost guarantee a do it your self paint job by someone who has never done it is going to look terrible.
