How much are you willing to spend? And what condition do you want it in at the end?

Obviously you can take it to any body shop and get them to fix it (they are usually the most expensive option, but will give the best results - probably anywhere from $400 - to a few grand depending on how immaculate you want the car). You can enlist the help of a mobile touch up specialist (who will come to your home/work/school whatever and do all the repairs onsite - would be anywhere from $200-$350 and give decent results). Or you can paint match and get the aerosols yourself and try your hand at repairing (mask all the other painted good surfaces, prep the area, and lightly mist on the paint until it is at the desired thickness and coverage).

Last option will be the cheapest - so it's really upto you?

From memory the colour code of white on R34 is QM1.

Go to autobarn and get some touch up paint mixed. They may even have this pre mixed by duplicolour.

You can just apply it, as it is not a very obvious area, it will look better.

Or you could go to somewhere such as the touch up guys, as it is not a metallic paint - the paint and blending of that area will be much easier.

Hope this helps.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!

      Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
