Right.
I like that. I take it you're fond of red oxide primer? lol. Any suggestions on what kind of paint I should use? I want it close to my factory color (AL0, ugly maroon), but I want to change it up a bit, maybe make it a pearl and a little more vibrant.
When I get the car straight, I'm going to sand down pretty far into the paint to get decent adhesion... Suggestions on what primer?
And anyone have any experience or knowledge on the differences in your urethane, enamel, laquer, etc. based paints?

What you see in the pic is the first base coat going on. I would suggest Duplicolor for paint/primer. Very good stuff IMO.
As far as the color, I got the exact paint code by giving Nissan my VIN because the sticker was gone. But anyways start out with your stock color and then imagine what you want it to be. Have someone mix it or fine a premixed one that looks like what you want.
Also, a puller does do an amazing job but at some point you can only pull/twist metal so far until it becomes useless. You can still see that the radiator support is a tiny bit twisted. But I got it back far enough to line everything else back up to spec. I don't see why you couldn't fix the problem your describing.
