[ultraprince]

BTW my GSR was the same color, and my 240 cost me 300 to get painted. =)

[typhoonslippery]

[Wei240]

curious to know, what kind of suspension mod is on the car?

[aznpoopy]

beautiful color... silver indoors and looks bronze-ish in the sunset. good job doing all ur own prep work.

[element240]

this may be a dumb questions, but did you paint over the door handles too?

[ootranceformeroo]

HOW!!! Tell meeeee :hsdance:

Body work and paint done by himself.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

good fucking lord. Can you keep the camera straight? Damn my neck hurts.

[-E-]

cross draft booths suck ass, car looks real good

[Dousan_PG]

hey you should have dumped the 3rd brake light and rear side markers, but oh well


looks like my car's color. dont copy me.

[TheSparo]

damn man you know the camera is shaped the way it is for a reason, its a plus, not an x in the viewfinder...
-take normal pics

[black180sx]

is it KG2?

Just wanted clear things up, the color is not grey. It is hard to tell what the actual color is from the pics because of the lighting. The color would be best described as brown. I will take more pics in better lighting soon.

[boro240]

hey you should have dumped the 3rd brake light and rear side markers, but oh well.
maybe he likes them.

wasnt it "looks are subjective"?

[black180sx]

Tein HA Coilovers

this may be a dumb questions, but did you paint over the door handles too?
yup

hey you should have dumped the 3rd brake light and rear side markers, but oh well.
Yeah i wanted to shave them off but.... I was kinda on a deadline.

looks like my car's color. dont copy me.
Yeah, I really should take some new pictures because no one can tell what the actual color is. heh, maybe even keep the camera parallel to the ground. :rolleyes:

[Dousan_PG]

haha i know im just giving you a hard time
you said a brownish color so im really looking forward to a daytime pic!
looks good though,
your sig looks like my car minus the wheels and hood! hahaha

[proj240sx]

man everyone i know lately going for that color. so its not officially off my list, heh heh. 3 of my friends all got that very similiar color in the span of maybe 2 months. its just cuz it looks so good. nice paint job bro.

[oojpeeoo]

around 500 muahahahaha

500?!..wow u either did it urself or had maaco do it for u... and when it comes 2 paint you get what you pay for..it looks nice @ first.. but after awhile it will chip and start to ripple... ouch owell @ least it looks coo right now

[silviaparts.com]

Nice, I was thinking about getting a paint job done there but they don't use the factory paint color, they use their own paints. I'm gonna go down to nissan and price how much it is for the factory paint and take it down to earl and have them put it on. But, I wonder if they will warranty my car if i make them use the nissan paint :confused:

[dunno]

Your avatar is mesmerizing, Tachyon. I don't know why.

Nice paint :)

Quoted from above....dam minimum character thingy... :squintd:

[ryan hagen]

i thought it looked more of a gun metal bronze color than a grey

[hondaguy]

bling moda f**kin bling : )

[HyperTek]

did you spend lots and lost of time on the body work?? Im about to start body work this weekend,... unfurtunitly I gotta use body filler for my dents... can you give me any tips?

So did you go to a rent-a-paint-booth type place?? do those even exsist? Im debating to get jdm-mad rims or paint with tax return (already got chuki lip and jdm sideskirts so Im hyped)

[mastalee]

"intergrated clear coat" but i aint triippin cuz they got a 6 yr warranyty! I would not go to Earl Schieb. Everyone body guy I know tells me they do bad work. A friend I know got their best paint job and it that sucked. They even tried to steal his spare tire, which magically appeared when he threatened to make a scene.

Anyhow nice paint for the person who posted this thread.

I took my time on the body work....dont rush. The damage on the car was only minor, I used putty for small door dings and sanded out the rock chips and scratches. I take an autobody class, I get credit for school too!!! :D

[KwKouki]

To whoever posted the graphite grey pearl 240, Thank you. I had the paint ordered 2 weks ago and will be painting my coupe in the next month. Damn its sexy

[ootranceformeroo]

IVE SEEN IT!!!!! haha its a light brownish in the direct light and looks grayish in darker lighted areas! I think it looks good in person but I think it should be a darker brown! :naughtyd:

[ZenkiSE]

Very nice color ..daytime pics would rock

[nismo2491]

I like gray on cars. I had the charcoal gray found on the is300 (the middle grey) and I'll be doing that same color probably again or black this time. I like the look of a black c/f hood, c/f fenders, on a shiny black car. and don't ask where I got the c/f fenders from. not rice, just light.

Yah Earl Schieb sucks, you get your tires, exhuast and windows painted free of charge. lol. I mean it looks good for the first week, but then the orange peel effect becomes more noticable, then eventually it will chip within 6 months I think, My mom had 2 cars painted there since she goes by teh saying "If they are not good, then why have they been in business for all these years?". Eventually they chipped and she didnt care, it was under warantee. lol

Isn't all that stuff for DOT compliance?

[Dousan_PG]

my car is illegal enough as it is haha
most semi track cars are..in a way, not all but you can be ticketed/found illegal for something

most cops dont know anyawys with lights, as long as your car is painted and clean, wouldnt know. 'what officer? nah its stock!'

[S13SilviaGirl]

out of curiosity where did you have it sprayed at? did they take the bumpers off and the headlight covers? Just wondering....looks good!

[epoxy_nc]

one hell of a transformation! nice car BTW...

[97DubTruck]

yeah that is a nice color. and i like the almost stock look.

[nissantuner22]

nice job! I do all the body work on every car I've ever owned. It makes you feel good to know when u get compliments on the car you can say, "i did it all myself"

[black180sx]

out of curiosity where did you have it sprayed at? did they take the bumpers off and the headlight covers? Just wondering....looks good!

I sprayed it in an autobody class, the bumpers and headlight covers were not removed.

[DRFT]

i tihnk you should change your sn now

[ootranceformeroo]

i tihnk you should change your sn now


I think it should be..... *color*240sx But I wont mention the color name ;)
