Respray R33

[antonirabic]

i have a r33 gts, some dirty sl*t went thru a red light and hit me and crumbled my car and got it fixed for 4 grand and i was fkn shocked that the guy was gonna only charging that much the car looked gone forever .... anyway back to the subject the front panel i got is white and bumper is grey i wanna get it all the same colour is there a way i can get the clear coat off and then touch up wit original paint, im not too fussed as i just want it all same colour for now then later looking to get full job around 4k on it.

can n e one help, its a sonic silver KL0K colour code. is that possible

the reason why i wanna touch up too cos my car was keyed lightly and side skirt on one side has chipped paint and wanna toouch it all up and then paint front panel and bumper is there a cheaper way i can get it done.

whoa there big fella, english and grammar usually help when you're trying to explain something, reading the above hurts my brain.

So, you have a white front panel & grey bumper, and you want to get it back to the same colour as your car?

DIY or at a Workshop? a front end-respray from a workshop would be the best way to get it matching properly and lasting the distance.

DIY - I'd avoid rattle tins, so do you have a compressor & spray gun? It would be a matter of sanding back the rear bar, priming, colour coating and clear coating or buffing depending on what paints you use... although the process isnt quite as simple as it sounds.

you can get your paint made up at most auto places (Auto1, Autobarn etc etc) however it will be to original spec, and not match 100%
