stesrg Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Hi all as new to nissans when I got my blade silver Z the bonnet had been replaced under warantee however when liffted it is still like it is finished in primer ! are they supposed to be this way ? of finished in gloss . Thanks Ste . pics posted soon ... Quote
was8v Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Should be painted same as the top! Maybe they have just not bothered to lacquer the underside? Quote
Harman350z Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Same as my JDM, the underside is not lacquered. Quote
Madmarky Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Prety sure they dont paint the underside on the blade cars, think the original bonnet from my car is a sort of matt looking grey on the underside. They probably come this colour originally and so would only paint theem for the darker colours. Quote
stesrg Posted April 15, 2010 Author Posted April 15, 2010 Yes underside ..... Hmmmm could be none laquered as I thought a near match for primer Need to get this sorted then the only faulf I can find , thats appart from the rusty outrigers gonna get it up on the ramps soon and sandblast the rusty bits and waxoil it all Ste .

Same as my JDM, the underside is not lacquered. Same this end of the world, doesn't matter which colour. So it matches the engine bays as they don't continue the exterior into the bay. Quote
