There is still about 80 pics to come so hang ten...

So, after alot of thought... instead of colour matching the pearl white that nissan painted from factory for $500 for 2 litres, i decided to paint the whole car with an easily matched colour.

so heres the start of repairing and aligning the front guard.



starting with the smaller of parts, I wanted to see if the colour was what i wanted, and how it responded to differences in lighting conditions.
So we painted the skirts first.





You cant really tell in the pic, but there is a huge difference in how the new white reflects light



Whilst waiting for the paint on the skirts to dry, i asked my mate how hard it'd be to paint the roof black... he grinned and threw me a roll of masking tape...



Some owner before me must have polished the car with armorall or a silicone based wax/polish... so it orange peeled... virtually straight away...





We ended up in the end running more paint, then blocked it back... was a bit of a dam pner on my day...



fitting the skirts as a mock up











now for the bars
