Hey all,

I had the front bar re-sprayed to remove stone chips and generally make it look kick ass new.

The crash repair shop that did the job for me didn’t do a good job. The blue is not the same blue and the pigments within the metallic are different. I’ve made them do it twice. They also painted my FLQP without my permission or genuine justification. Probably to blend & hide their bad work so I wouldn’t notice, and I wouldn't of if a mate of mine didn't point it out. Under 500W+ transcendent lights it tells the true story.

Anyway! Does anyone know of a place that can actually import the right paint and not just mix and match what there paint rep supplies? Or that can actually make the right colour/ pigmentation and use a spray gun?

On the occasions I need paint work done, I used Silver Motor Bodies @ Windsor Gardens.

They do a lot of late model high end cars like porsche, Range Rovers etc.

Also they dont look down @ you for driving a Nissan.

Speak to Tony (owner) or Joyce.

:thanks:

So I went to all the suggestions. I like Silvers; it is a bit far from the western suburbs however I think they would do a great job. I also like Premier on Regency road that also do BMW’s and Lexus. Both seemed to know what they’re talking about. Premier is adamant that they can do a better job than Findon Crash Repairs, who painted my Guard without permission and basically costed me $800 in repairs now!

I think people really struggle to nail the Athens Blue B21; it has unique pigmentations in the metallic and has no purples/reds and greens.

Every painter in Adelaide including the ones I mentioned above, mix and match their in-house paints with their paints brand spectrometer. I don’t understand why nobody can order the original Athens B21 patented paint from Nissan or Infiniti..

I highly recommend Dino from Color Touch Systems @ 0419 868 763 / [email protected]

Let him know "George with the V35 Skyline" sent you - he's a top guy and will look after you in regards to both workmanship and price :)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
