There are guys that do this sort of thing for car dealerships - if its not too bad you could try that?

I dont have the numbers of any of them but just go to your closest dealership and ask them who they use

Little scrape? Touch up paint dude. Ask a local panelbeater if they have the colour. Otherwise try Nissan or import workshops for the colour. Don't have no's atm.

I've filled up fine scratches on my 33 with polish, but if the paint has been scraped all the way to the body then polish is useless.

Cheers

If it's not too bad then touch-up paint is good. If you can't get Midnight Purple then look for something as close as possible, or, if it's only very small scratches at the very bottom of the lip then black touchup over the actual scratches can take the attention away if you do it correctly....

his car is midnight purple :)

on srz note: Try autobarn, they can mix the acrylic touch up paint for you. Just bring ur paint code with you. 30bux a can.

It's more dark blue then purple..

And If you get a dark blue texta it will fix the problem.. I do it on my car all the time!

Try just use a brush to apply the spray as spray goes everywhere and if you get it on your ride you'll have to buff/polish it off .. just a tip .. id say pre mix autobarn way is going to be best.. However I have bought a midnight purple colour when I was doing some mod work to my pc .. looks very similar gold flakes everything .. just go check out the sprays

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
