Yes I have. Did a tourren front and wing. Its same as ip on g35. It's a tricoat so when you panel shoot it you can get as close as you can but will never exactly match. Too many variables that throw color off. My r1 is a 5 stage
Paint. Oriental blue candy over hok cosmic chrome. To get the chrome effect I
Had to paint all the panels gloss black first

So basically there's no way to get it exact on PPW?

And I thought the G35 had a slightly different color. Glacier Pearl Tricoat = Pikes Peak White?

Yes they are different just meant both are Tricoats. If you are shooting a panel you can blend the color to the next panel to get the color close. But for bumpers and sides most people don't want to pay to blend so we get as close as you can. The reason bumpers and sides are different color from factory is they are usually painted a different time and plant from car

I hear ya. I eventually need to repaint my passenger fender and would most likely do the front bumper at the same time. I've got Nismo sides and rear add-ons still sitting new in box too. This is all on the back-burner for now though.

[QUOTE=AllstarE4;9660187]This is turning into an event just for a single alignment.

If Fithamoto is game, I'm in to do the alignment.
I think he is getting close to pulling the trigger on arms and shocks.

We'll set something up when he's ready.

Haha man, it seems like forever! I've had them in the garage for quite some time. I've considered selling them, but I keep telling myself that I'll get it all done sooner or later.

Where did you order them from? Did you end up ordering arms?

My april schedule sucks, All weekends except for the 27,28(DE here I come). We'll see what works for our schedules.

Are you planning on the DE in april?
