is there? any difference between WV2 and k51 350z colors? One is for 03-06 and other is from 07-08

 

By the way I'm asking cuz I'm getting a spoiler that has that paint color(03) and mine is 07

 

Ya k51 is carbon silver wv2 is silvertone.... basically k51 is a little darker then wv2

 

Ya its not going to match...

 

Time for paintjob...

 

Did you see the last post in the Top 100 Questions thread? It's pretty clear that different codes are different colors.

 

Well then... That sux lol

 

Yes.

 

yea ... different paint code = different color

unless its a straight black .. but anyways


the colors are a good ways apart ... silverstone vs. carbon silver (light vs dark sorta)


just take the spoiler to a good local body shop and shouldn't cost too much right now b/c every dang body shop is hurting for money (I'm a painter at a big shop and I'm coming home lunch time every day )

they'll probably charge you 2 hours paint time if all they gotta do is scuff and shoot ..

so at $40 / hour for 2 paint and 2 labor .. that'll be about $160

and make sure you find out what paint they use b/c if its some cheap stuff that thing isnt going to match any better than the silverstone next to carbon silver

I painted my brothers 280z carbon silver like my 07z with some cheap sherwin williams paint and that color isn't anywhere close

we use Dupont Chrombase / Chromapremier and its been matching pretty darn good compared to Sherwins Ultra 7000 line ..

if you do end up getting it painted ... try to find a shop that uses PPG or Dupont .. try to stay away from SW unless you dont care that it matches

 

carbon silver is darker than silverstone? I thought silverstone was the darkest silver....
