Hi All Since the motor of my zed coming out is there any certain place to get the original Nissan paint colour from? And how many litres would I need to do the whole car and engine bay? My code is 673 Cheers Dazza
673 is metallic , so you'll need clear as well It could be done with 4ltrs of each In my opinion, One of the most unforgiving colors to spray if your not proficient with a spray techniques Good luck
Thanks guys, Im doing this my self to save some money but if the colour to hard to paint may have to bite the bullet and get a pro to do.
Thanks Rob and Mich Yeah I am near Mandurah I'll go see them today. Want to get everything ready so when the engine is out going to do 100k service and fix all the panel work , try and minimise downtime! Cheers Dazza
Granted the paint can be expensive, however the end result will depend on the preparation. Perhaps you could consider doing all the prep work yourself & then having the paint & clear applied professionally.
Thats not a bad colour to lay down, just dont go heavy in the corners when you get your gun up in and close to hard to reach spots. Otherwise you'll end up with a high concentration of metallic. And it wont look ideal. As above, prep is the key point. Engine bays need thorough cleaning with degreasers and prep wash. So keep it clean and apply the right products and you'll be laughing. Best of luck with it. Depending on how particular you are. Its going to take a while.
Thanks all for the advice , I can't even colour in within the lines so I am going to do prep work and have it professionally done. Would like to try myself but don't want to stuff it up and have to do it all again!! Cheers Dazza
