Front Lip Is Being Respayed Soon

[abcent]

My cars booked in to finally get the key scratch fixed on the 9th of October, whilst its there I'm getting my front lower lip resprayed as its chiped an cracked.....stupid witches hats...lol

I was going to get it resprayed the same as it is (white), but a friend thinks I should do it black. what are your thoughts?

cheers

I would leave it white

For the reason i know it might sound weird but

From a distance the front will look higher than the rest of the body coz of the skirts

Ya have to picture it..

[justin911]

[R31Nismoid]

White is winning so far... thats cause its better

[ferni]

Leave it white...

Carbon to match the bonnet?

If not definately matte black

[Belsil80]

if you go black, it will be easier to tell it apart from chris's gtr

[RBN1]

ever wondered why GTR's have them matte black from the factory? Because they get hammered in no time when they're colour coded. I've resprayed my one from gloss to matte black. Looks much better IMHO and after week of driving, won't look all marked from small rocks.

I've had to respray the lower lip twice since i've owned the car, an it doesnt really bother me as it doesnt cost a lot to do, I just detatch it and take it in.

I might also add that in a week or 2 im getting the rims powdercoated gloss black as I'm over the grey.

ooo, let me know how much the blackening of the rims costs... i'm very keen to do this... not sure if i want to go gloss or matte...

would they need the car for a whole day or more to do it?

If respray doesnt bother you, get it black, see if your like it, if not respray it back to white

well I'm getting mine done through a freind....beers worth more than money ...hehe

but I got quoted around the $25 per rim to powdercoat (place's round Geelong) plus whatever sandblasting costs.

when I had mine done originally a few years back it cost me $60 per rim including sandblasting, I took the rims in to them in the morning and picked them up that same afternoon. Coating places wont do the work for you, there not mechanics and dont have tyre machines, so you'll need to organise taking them off your car, getting the tyres stripped off at your local tyre shop as well as removing the valves an any wheel weights, then take the rims to them as bare rims.

Hope thats of some help. Cheers
