Beavis Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Why not get the proper touch up pack from your local Nissan dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmck13 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Your paint code should be on an aluminium plate in the engine bay drivers side with all the other info.It should be a 3 figure code, i.e my blue azure is B17. I think if you search on this site you may find a photo of it? Not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Dont wait for Nissan to make a paint, they never did for Rosso Red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 KAV is what you want. I got some from Paints4u last week, it looks like a good match You need to go through and pick the kit you want, then scroll down to the bit that says "I cant find the colour I'm looking for". In the box put "2010 370z Quartz KAV". Thats what I did and they made it up and sent it out very quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
113z Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 ok thanks what is the best kit for basic stone chip touch up in your opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I got a bottle of base coat and a bottle of clear coat in 1 pack from Nissan for £5 including VAT. That is probably the best place to get it from due to accurate paint matching. A quick question...(sorry to hijack) If you over paint around the stone chip and let it dry, is it possible you could remove that paint or will it stay on the paintwork permanently? Thanks, Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 To be honest touch up kits are what they are, the only successful way is a total respray. Try the nail test if you can feel it with your finger nail it needs professionally doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blob Eliminator should help - http://www.langka.com/blob-eliminator-p-31.html You can remove it depending on how long its been. In my experience any more than a few days and you'll struggle though. Less than 24hrs and it comes off easy, so long as the car hasnt been baking hot in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just a point of interest the standard touch up kit has a brush that 4mm wide, far too large for the normal scratch, paints 4 you have specialised "spears" that are 0.02mm at the end for a more accurate fill without over spill.

Yup, use spears or a tooth pick, anything else is too wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
