Just a quick question to anyone with the silverstone 350Z. When you were matching the color of the new pieces with the rest of the car, has it come out perfect. mine has gone back twice and im still not really happy. it has gotten better since last paint job but in cloudy, overcast weather you can see the difference. Please add any insight or problems you've had doing yours. im just wondering how other peoples kits have come out using this color? i want to know if im crazy or can it be mached perfectly with out spraying the whole car or blending. Just by straight panel painting, can it be perfect.
Thank you

 

for what it's worth white and silver are the hardest to match.

If you need a great paint guy i would refer you to Stainless Steel Collision. If ANYONE can do it, its this shop.

Ask for Joey. Say Matt with the blue 350Z sent you. He has two locations. one in Corona and one in Long Island. I would take a lambo to him if i had one. He approaches his work with precision and art. You can eat off his shop floor.

 

I have a silverstone touring. I recently had the front Nissan logo taken off the car. The did have a little trouble matching the paint. They did get it right though. It looks great, can't tell it has been painted.

 

Send a msg to SirMikel1, he lives 5 min away from me with an authentic Nismo kit on his SilverStone Z. Looks 100% perfect.

 

did you paint the emblem??

 

thanks for all the replies. My body guy is awesome. he has been able to help me all the time except for this color. there seems to be such a hard time with it. No, i didn't paint the emblem. i got the vertex kit and kept it off. ill post pics in a day or two. im going to put on my Volk sf challenges right now and i dont want to post pics till there on. ill post pics, you guys tell me if you think i should bring it back again.

 

i'm getting my kit painted and put on monday...i'll post some pics afterwards to show the paint job. they painted the engine bay parts and those came out exact. i'm sure the kit will come out nicely as well. i'll post some pics afterwards.

 

I had it removed and filled in. It looks great, I'll post a picture....

 

the car is dirty, but you get the idea

 

Here's a pic of mine , no problem matching ,left the car for the day I also think that it's the material that they are working with if it's good quality or crap make's a difference for the paint.

 

If you go to a bodyshop that knows what they are doing, matching the paint should not be a problem. It might cost you a little more to go to a reputable shop, but it will be worth it in the end.

 

my kit cost 2300 so its good quality. VERTEX. Paint cost a Grand.
The shop is preatty good but. i dont know. i need it perfect.
