Touch Up

[xntrq]

Hey guys, I recently got my R34 and theres a few marks around it, and a big one at the front bar. What would be the best way to touch it up?

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?

Pics?

Yeah i'm considering to do a full respray. But I just want something to touch up the front bar which is the most noticeable part. I'll post some pics on Friday, don't get home from work till 9pm.

+1 for pics.

Are the marks through the paint? Or could they be buffed out?

The marks are right through. It's usual front bar scrapes from speed bumps but I think this one was from a kerb. Will post pics tonight.

Apologies for the late upload, here are two pics. One from the front bar on the passenger side and the other is the side skirts on the drivers side.

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.
