As someone else noted earlier - that paint is perfect.

If it came from Infiniti like that, let me know.

Har har. :P

The story of my cars paint is a long one, you can read it here:

http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61821

It did come from the factory like that (although I had to salvage it), however it isn't totally op free. In typical Nissan fashion there are areas where the paint sprayer was likely further from the car than others that have op, example - the curve along the side of the car that slants inward, the rear trunk and bumper, and the rear fenders.

Example:



(notice the op on the side where the car would have curved away from the sprayer)



...and on the rear fender (the rear fender is almost laughably OP'd)

Sorry for the ot folks.

Nothing special at this end. Last year's pictures...don't have any recent ones, although I wish I did. She looks so much better now...I'm abroad at the moment so I can't really take any recent ones.
