Looks great Ryan. Nice job on the overlays too.

 

WOW what a difference with the mesh. Looks great Ryan. I'm glad everything worked out.

 

I like it too. The mesh makes it look better. I agree with jb about the parking pass.

 

Thank you for the idea.

 

Now you need the 06 projector headlights.

 

Yea, now you're talking...

That's one of the things I want to ask John Oliva about during the Lokey Meet.

 

am I the only one that thinks you need to take it back to Richard....the pictures seem like the color is off by enough that he should redo it.

but maybe its me or just the pics

 

i know a barely used vortech kit that will be up for sale soon.. i will have installation available too

 

His wife (Linda?) said they used the factory Nissan paint. The only way they can get it to match is to blend the fenders and hood ($450). Not only do I not want to spend that much money...but I can't leave my car there. It is my only car.

 

Where is the devilish grin smiley when you need it? I highly doubt it...but keep me updated (insert devilish grin).

 

Thaey may have used a Nissan color code of paint, but a good paint shop can take that and part of your car, like the gas cap cover, and tweak it a little for an almost perfect match.

My dad owned a paint and body shop and I saw him take small parts to the paint shop a lot of times to get it to match. It's like buying anything with different dye lots. There will be some variations from lot to lot.

Richard's wife doesn't sound too friendly.

 

supposedly she isnt

but i would def get that to match better
talk to richard not his wife

 

Dude, here's an idea... TALK TO RICHARD!!!

His wife is MUCH LESS THAN PLEASANT when it comes to car enthusiasts. They make money off of flipping jobs, not redoing them 3 times like they did on Josh's car to get it PERFECT!!!

 

his wife is the business woman....richard is in it cause thats what he loves....

if she wasnt there he would be out of business cause he asks his customers how much he charges....

 

If I were you guys I would withhold judgement till you see it in person. Gilley is right that color codes are the exact formula the factory uses but like he says you have to tweak it. Many other things affect how it lays out such as humidity, barometric pressure, temperature, etc. Most good painters have a good feel for it and with a stock bodypart outside and a can of the paint they can tweak it to get it just right. Try painting a black car with metallic gold(170) in it without taking it outside and see how close you get it to match. The only reason I know all this is because my best friend of 10 years has been painting cars ever since I've known him. Also blending into the front quarters shouldn't cost $450. That's taking it without any lube!
