Anyone with a kitted silverstone?
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
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.

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.
