touch up paint

[nothing]

hey, I knocked a Koala out a month or so again and as a result have been left with a mark on the front spoiler (size of a koala head ) I'm wanting to touch it up

I'm planning on replacing with a aftermarket front bar sooner or later so not worth getting a respay just wondered if anyone knows what white the 1995 r33 gts25t's have on them

I went to get a touch up kit at local super cheap auto :bahaha: but there is like 100 diff whites guy at store was no ficking help

anyone know what color white?

I really don't want to go in to a panel beater to find out

The paint (and interior trim) color codes for your car are written on the blue VIN plate in the engine compartment (towards the rear, near the driver).

You need the code, cuz, as you've noticed there are about a million shades of white!

thanks alot demon dave

but even at supercheap they probably won't have the correct code for an import... i haven't been able to find any place that has it in a can for AN0 (skyline burgandy).

There have been threads about this b4, but try an autopaints specialist, or Nissan Australia (apparently they stock some for imports).

poor koala man u should buy it a new head, i think you can get one at a gift shop!

[predator]

do u guys still even have real koalas in Queensland? or have you run them all over by now??

[Lenno]

any good panel shop can mix the white u want from the paint code on the jap plate

On a related note, where's a good place to get touch-up brushes? I was thinking a hobby shop, but are these brushes ok to use with 2pack paint?

East Coast Auto Spares on the corner of North Rd and East Bounadry Rd, Murrumbeena have the white paint you're looking for. It was about $10. I can't remember the name of the colour but they can look up the code on their computer.

the code on my white r 33 is QM1

and i matched the code in a book at a

auto shop(SORRY CANT REMEMBER WHICH ONE)

and it was called POLAR WHITE

BRAND is POWER PLUS their code is PJ2142

there was actually two polar white with two different codes

so i just picked the one i thought was the closest

i didn't think there were so many shades of white

i hope this helps

well white is quite easy cos its white u know! with the wine red, its got a pearl mica in it and the closest is vintage burgundy which is same colour in the sun and ultra bright in the shade. the closest ive found so far in a can is actually cardinal red (metallic) which is a toyota colour

When I wanted to get a touch up paint a while back I just went to a paint mixing place (specialised in it). They asked for my car and paint code and the next day they had the paint in a can. Exactly matched.. 20 bucks from memory.

[nismoman18]

hmmm 20 bucks sounds good will go and get sum but i dont have spray equipment
