Thank you

I think the G35 is painted is a Lambo colour, Arancio Ishtar or Arnacio Atlas Mica, PPG code 0057 and 0058 respectively.

The Civic colour looks like Autumn Copper Metallic, paint code A50

Quick question.. What is your take on single stage paint job's? going to be having my car painted KR5 silver moss in a single stage just for the quick fix and reasonable price.

Sorry no picture to add at the moment, my car is striped ready for paint..

Lovely Idol Inc. · 11-10-2010, 04:37 PM

My advice is don't waste your time if you care about how your car looks.

Can you match it? Yes

Will it look okay? Sort of

Can you do it yourself with a harbor freight paint gun and STILL have it look okay to save some money? ABSOLUTELY

Again, if you care what it looks like do it 2 stage with a good clear. Especially if it has pearls or metallics in the color.

TheEightyNine · 11-12-2010, 01:55 AM

Does anyone know the code for this sexy looking midnight blue, ive seen it on 240's, i assume it might be a nissan color. anyone?

AngeloAJC · 11-12-2010, 06:34 AM

This is what my S13.4 hatch is getting painted with a silver sparkle

jdm2191 · 11-14-2010, 03:18 PM

Color Code?

David48 · 11-15-2010, 04:58 PM

I'm gonna paint my stripped out interior with some left over paint my dad gave me from his body shop, and I'm gonna be teaching myself along the way. The container says it's Polyester basecoat, and I searched the website for mixing instructions. It said 1 part paint to 1 part UR reducer. So wtf does UR reducer mean? Is lacquer thiner good enough?

Lovely Idol Inc. · 11-15-2010, 07:18 PM

No, you need a Urethane Reducer

You can pick up some ppg DT870 universal reducer from a paint store or just something more specific. Take the can with you (cant get it at an auto parts store)

If you ever use lacquer thinner you won't be able to paint anything.

In regards to clear coating wrinkle paint, you can do it, just prep the wrinkle coating with a scotch brite pad and clear it out.

It will look like when you paint your undercoating on a car basically, shiny but still wrinkle coating.

nhsjpeterson · 11-20-2010, 10:04 AM

an old paint (1969 Camaro Hugger Orange, code 072) on a new Genesis coupe. I saw it after a few pieces were done, I wasn't sure I liked it so I asked my painter to switch to HOK Tangelo, but he didn't want to do it for some reason. So, it ended up as Hugger.

Owning an Emerald Green S14 is a right of passage! lol Nobody wants to do it, but everyone will at some point if they are a real s-chassis person.

Lovely Idol Inc. · 11-22-2010, 12:05 AM

If they are a real s chassis person, they will avoid that color haha

nismobenzo · 11-30-2010, 04:33 PM
