Chris`I Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Looks very orange-peely (yes thats the technical term!). I have 50/50 shots of the original paint vs new paint and I think the amount of orange-peel on it deserves a re-spreay Colour match is good though. Cant the body shop help in buffing that out. Mine looked superb but even so they are going to polish it up for me to get rid of any imperfections. Just hope that i am happy when i mate it up to the car. Going to get in contact with them and see what they say. According to DetailersWorld, Jap cars normally have orange peel paint anway, so the fact that this is worse than Nissans attemp means I'm not happy. At home now so will upload the pics and start a thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Got my bumper back and i have started to refit it. Just got to put my reg plate back on and my new zed badge. For information the headlight washer covers are the original colour. And yeah before anyone says anything my tax disc holder sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWZ Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Looking good Dave, I have to admit I do like your car it's grown on me. Never been a big yellow fan but I think it looks superb on the Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost me the thick end of £500 but you might be able to get it done for less. I used a Mercedes-Benz repairer for this. But when you find a body shop they realy need to understand the process for this paint. Find a bodyshop that oozes confidence and get them to do some sample spray cards first. But my job as not been without problems and they had to do it several times before i was happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
