Hi there,

Well, it was bound to happen, the fence decided to attack the front bumber of my S2 Stagea. I wasn't driving, it was the missus. :cheers:

I'm looking for a bit of touch up paint in the form of a pen or small pot, whatever is best to cover up a couple of 3cm x 2cm scrapes on the corner of the bumper. Will i be able to find something in repco or autobarn? It's sonic silver right?

I've searched all those stores and bought 3 different silvers, none of which match

I think you need to go to a paint store and get them to make up some

Hmm... that's not good...

Any reputable auto paint supplier should be able to mix it up for you and put it in a pressure pack.

(KR4 has a few variants so be careful)

Is KR4 the paint i'm looking for then?

There's a definite slight Pewterish tint to the silver isn't there.

Depending on how big the scratches are, either just brush touch it up, or get a pressure pack, some plastic primer and some clear. Practise on something else first.... If the colour is right, it's possible to get it virtually invisible on a bumper corner. If the colours even slightly off, it'll look sh#thouse so go to a specialist autopaint shop, ie not autobarn repco etc.... I've done this a few times for people and charged them good money for it..... and I'm not a professional painter. Pm me if you want some tips :turned:

Hey yeah thanks for that, was wondering myself what the "Z" was, thought it might be some sort of shade or something.

Got some good tips from TimHeather too, will hunt for some paint this weekend.

I think you will find the "Z" is the interior colour spec, so not related to the paint, might confuse the paint guys so thought it was worth mentioning...

Nah... my driveway would eat that bar! Looks sweet though.

Or... You could just leave it slightly scratched, (pics?) and swap with me for my Dolphin Front Bar - already painted Sonic Silver! Let me know! Read my Thread!

I got some touch up paint in a small bottle with brush from local Nissan dealer - they needed a few days to get it in but it matches fine.

Cost about $12 or so, from memory

Yeah? Would they have Sonic Silver, being import and all?

They do have it as that is what I got, since mine is Sonic Silver

Just give them the paint code and they should be able to get it for you

Spoke to a large Nissan dealer in Adelaide and they said they don't and couldn't get the paint. Which dealer did you get yours from? Might have to get 1 sent.

Anyone know where I could find some QT1 touch-up paint in or near Adelaide (SA) ?

...can you even get the pearl white in touch up? Kind-of an interesting finish, all metal-flake and all, don't know if you can 'can it'? :)

bought in japan...

I thought x-trail might have come out in QT1 ?? Nissan usually sell touch up paint. If you were in brissie you could help yourself to mine.

Cool... is that Holts? Maybe one could order some through a Holts dealer in SA... hmm

Edit: going to try Nissan supplier... soon as I get the name off my compliancer

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
