[QUOTE]NISSAN DEVELOPS WORLD’S FIRST CLEAR PAINT
THAT REPAIRS SCRATCHES ON CAR SURFACES
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.

1 Week later, and yet they managed to take the picture on the EXACT same angle, on the exact same time of day, with all the same exact shadows, and parked in the same exact location eh… I have a feeling this is that new ‘Photoshop’ Paint they’ve been talkin 'bout…

Why move the car at all?
And getting a picture at the same time of day is feasible.

Well it is the same picture…
If you look at the reflection in the paint, notice the sun and the clouds on the horizon are in the same spot.
This is impossible to duplicate given the cloud variable…
Thus it’s the same picture…

No, the car’s existing paint is the new paint. This doesnt spray on, after you get a scuff mark.
So the car just sits and heals itself.
I dont buy it either, just playing devil’s advocate.

I dunno why this thread is still getting attention…
I think we need at least one more person to tell us that it’s the same picture. :roll:
