i just picked up a nismo V2 for my silverstone colored 350z...i need to get it painted..along with the ings sides and rears i got, and also want to take off my nissan logo on the hatch, and i got a couple paint chips i want to fix... i got my paint code off of automotivetouchup.com....im pretty sure its WV2 for the silverstone Z....anyway...my question was, they sell spray paint to match, and i waas wondering, since im pressed for money, could i pull off spray painting my body kit and touch up spots? and would i have to wet sand it after? the cans are 20 dollars each for basecoats...anyone know anywhere else cheaper to get paint? or in larger amounts for cheaper? a little help thanks guys....sorry for the noob question

 

You sir, are a liar.

 

If your name is Volk350 shouldn't you have volks...therefore be able to afford to paint the kit after you buy it?

 

this has to be a joke?

 

how am i a liar? and second of all i do have volks...GT-Fs to be exact...but an unfortunate family incident has been having me pay for morgage on two houses, plus me and my wife just had a baby, so funds are tight right now...its not a joke why cant anyone on here just give straight answers to people without flaming...no wonder people *** up there Zs on this site cuz they are to afraid to ask a question cuz you *******s just flame them and make them feel like ****, now you can help me out or not

 

Don't even attempt to do it yourself! Especially if you have no paint experience. Save your money and have it done the right way or you'll end up spending even more money to have someone repair the damage your bound to do. As far as repairing the chips goes, do use a rattle can for that. You would need to mask off the entire area ( chips on hood- mask and paint entire hood) or it just won't blend right, especially on silver, it's one of the hardest color to match and blend. Instead try getting a paint pen or a little bottle with the small brush applicator. You could just wait and ask the body shop that paints your body kit to give you some touch-up paint then.

 

cool cool...yea i have seen a few silverstone Zs with spray painted body kits and they didnt match...so i was very skeptical about it...i wish i could find someone to paint for cheap haha thanks man i think 700 painted for the entire kit is all i have found for two tone on the front and rear

 

700! just for paint! wow that seems high. sorry for my remark earlier but +1 don't try to do it yourself it will be impossibly hard to match the paint

 

no big deal, i wish i wasnt struggling right now, but i cant do anything but step up and help out the family ya know....hmm...so whats a good price for painting a body kit then? im gonna have to look up local shops and give them a call

 

did just my amuse front end for 275 but install it myself.

 

very nice, i figure 400-500 is gonna be the norm on an entire kit
hopefully with two tone

 

rattle can FTW!

 

 

you could ask this guy... i think he spraypainted his own body kit. PM him for details.

 

oh wow that was funny....


not...

 

Umm... get the job done right... if you want to half-*** stuff, buy a cavalier and paint away.

 

OMFG TEH HORROR!!!

 

actually, i found it quite humorous... and i'm sure others did, as well...

remember, ask a silly question...get a silly answer.

 

not really ....and did you just say silly? hahah...a guy saying silly sounds pretty gay

 

ignorant to the max.
