ZedMeister Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I bought my Zed about 2 weeks ago, everything perfect, only imperfection was a scuff mark on either wing mirror, do you guys know anything that I could go out touching this up nicely? If it costs monies then so be it but cheaper DIY methods the better, heres what I'm dealing with. Quote
xStric9x Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 One option bud http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350Z-Carbo ... 415a07737b I'm sure i've seen them cheaper. Quote
ZedMeister Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 Carbon fiber would look stupid on my blade silver, although that kind of thing would be a decent option, would a touch up spray or something not work? Quote
HassanZ Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I would get a proper job done or a carbon fibre cover. Don't do a bodge job, will ruin the look of your otherwise perfect car. I agree, carbon wouldn't suit a blade Zed... Quote
xStric9x Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Carbon fibre would look better than any bodge job. Quote
ZedMeister Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 I've recieved a quote of £78 to fix both profressionally.. good deal? Quote
ZedMeister Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Sounds okay to me Yeah mate, my friends reckon I'm daft even bothering about it, but as you will know when you have such a nice car it's hard not to bother. Quote
scubapics Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 £78 sounds good to me although I'd whip both off and respray myself but then I have a little bit of experience and good results of spray painting. As they are quite small they are excellent candidates for spraying yourself. You need to prep them properly - sanding with fine wet and dry. Fill and marks, then sand again. Then paint in very thin coats (don't want drips etc). Lastly lacquer coating in fine coats again. Any blemishes between coats can be removed using fine wet and dry. Finally polish for perfect finish - autoglym super resin might do the job once the paint has hardened for a few days. Just take your time and don't rush any stage. If you c*ck it all up, get it done for £78. If you don't c*ck it up, then enjoy your work and be happy Either way, be happy Quote
scubapics Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 PS - you're not daft. You bought a car that you wanted to enjoy. So why not keep it in tip top condition. They're just jealous because they wish they could afford to run a car like the Z - perhaps? Quote

Thanks for the advice, don't know if I'm confident enough with your suggestion so may as well go with the 78, cheers lad. Quote
Ian5 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Looked to do something similar with mine a while back and was quote £100 so £78 seems reasonable... Quote
