I just had a replica FRP Nismo Body kit installed and painted, and the bottom line is the paint matching is terrible. I have not accepted the car yet what should I do? These shots were taken with no flash at about 6pm, with the setting sun to my back.


Look at that, I count 4 colors


not so bad here


ugh




There you go what do you think of the work that was done? What should I do, I have not accepted the car yet. I thought I would talk to you all help.

 

have them get it right....do it again until you like it....you can definitly tell that the paint is way off!

 

Yeah, it is ****ing terrible. One of my buddies said the best time was to go at the evening because you can tell the paint is off better in that light. But the place did not want to deliver until tomorrow morning, but I snuck in to take a peak In the evening light.

 

I'm at the apple store right now, wow I can't believe after two months.. it's not like they only had the paint code and not the car right fukcing there. Have them fix it that is a disgrace.

And to think they had it in the showroom??

 

I know its terrible, but I want my car back so bad. grrr...


Anyone know what reflectors I should order to get installed in those spots?

 

wow the front looks aweful they got it way wrong. the sides look good and the rear is a tad off but the front is def way off. good luck and def dont take delivery if your not satisfied. have them do it over. did you pay before? if not dont pay and make them fix

 

Nah, I have not paid yet and don't plan on it until they fix my paint.

 

ebay, 03-05 fit is what I'm told.

 

good idea, they did horrible. that's not what u paid for, that's not what u should get

 

Like said the sides look good. The ends are awful though. Wich doesn't make sense assuming they used to same batch of base. The front doesn't even look like a shade of DB. I wouldn't let something that bad go out of my shop. Definatly have them to remix and repaint it.


Don't expect it to be an exact match though. No matter what anyone says you can never mix a perfect match. If it's off a hair it would be normal.

 

Yeah I know its going to be a bit off, but im right in thinking that is way off.

 

Yeah, I was just making sure you knew. I completely agree with you on that. The match is horrible.

 

find out brand of paint, and who mixed it (it may have been mixed at a napa or something and not in-house) its just so much lighter its hard to believe they would try to give it to you, they had to mix the color wrong or mixed the wrong alternate or something

 

Yeah ill ask them the brand of the paint they used to defile my car.

 

I will go castrate those bastards if you want this makes me so mad.

 

mmmm good plan

 

Just talked to them today, they are repainting everything.

 

Good. Hopefully they do a better job.

Colors are definitley getting harder to match, but they should be able to do it better than that.
