is the only white paint made in 06 ppw? also if a good body shop paints just the bumper will it match the rest of the car or will the colors be off? thanks

 

pretty good chance that the colors will be off. White is very hard do. You can try blending it though which would cost a bit more.

 

Yes, PPW is the only "white" color ever offered on the Z.

Yes, a GOOD shop will be able to match it. It's not a simple paint color (multi part, pearlized) so it takes some amount of expertise to get a good match. I work with a guy that had his front bumper, hood and fenders replaced and painted and you can't tell the difference but it was done at one of the best shops in town. Don't trust Fact-o-Bake, Earl Sheib, etc.

 

Welcome. The only white 350Z paint code is QX1.
Ask for a shop recommendation in the regional forum.

 

it'll never be perfect, hell even from the factory people debate whether its matches or not, but a good shop should be able to get it damn close. good luck, i'll getting a new bumper and skirts here shortly, i pray for a good color match.

 

im in the same boat also. Im just hoping for a good match.

 

I've got a PPW Z and I did a Veilside wing; a friend of mine with a body shop matched the paint close to perfectly. I'm very satisfied with it.

 

I was at a Z meet and my PPW did not match the PPW parked right next to it.

I have some PPW I had put into cans and after playing with it, it seems like it is all in how much pearl you put on. The white sort of looks blueish before you add the pearl layer, like it has some tint to it.

White itself is hard enough and when you add pearl, it makes it even harder. The best way is to blend. I have worked with many white cars and this is the only way i can guarantee it will match by the naked eye looking at the vehicle.
