Maybe some of you guys can answer my question. I don't know anything about paint finishes but can they put a different pearl in the paint to make a different look? I've seen some pearl whites that at certain angles has blue in it.

Like this...

Mine had "B*tch" keyed into my driver side door. $600 fix. Luckily my insurance paid for it.

Stuff like this disgusts me. Some people have no decency
Good luck with the insurance man.

So the big day is tomorrow.

I have taken it upon myself to remove some items from the Z to avoid the shop taping things off. I removed the antenna assembly, rear wiper assembly, Z fender emblems, head/tail lights will be removed tomorrow, bumper reflectors, Fairlady Z emblem (new one was ordered) and the mud flaps were cleaned and removed so they can be sprayed too.

I will leave the door trim and door handles for them to do. If I had access to my friends truck and trailer I would have done a complete disassembly of the exterior but I trust the shop to do a good job.

I will also be asking them about different pearl options as well.

Dropped the Z off!

They are taking her apart completely, sanding the keyed sections down to metal, bring the surface up smooth then use a corrosion protection, 2K primer, block it, base coat (white), pearl coat, 2 clear coats, wet sand then cut and buff. I was told she will look better than the day Nissan painted her. I'm excited but it's going to take 2-3 weeks...

I decided just to have them do the regular PPW instead of a different pearl.

Also if this shop does a good job I will have found the place to paint my V2 NISMO bumper (already have), NISMO sides (need to buy) and 06+ hood painted (want to find used).

Get it all done at one, while they are doing the repair. Will be cheaper in the long run

Not ready for the V2 bumper to be painted. Still have a lot of things to buy and with winter coming up it's not worth it. I'll be ready next spring.

Lots of Haters and Envy in the world. I'm glad your Insurance is taking care of the repairs. Had haters do things like this to my Vette in the 70s. It's what happens sometimes for having something nice. I keep a savings account just for repairs and any attacks on my 350Z that I own now. Makes me feel better knowing Karma will come back and kick who did this back in the a$$. What goes around comes around.

You might want to invest in night lighting and security cams and signs at home to watch over your Z. Most important thing is don't let hater's stop you from having fun and things you like to have fun with.

Putting up a large security light here soon that's motion activated. Rumor is a house down from us was broken into. A neighbor installed motion activated flood lights at every corner of his house.

Can't have anything nice...

I need to make a sign that reads...

"Do it again and I'll abduct
you in your sleep, prison
style rape you then sell your
body off to human trafficking".
