My understanding is the pearl white and 40th quartz are twice the price because of its high quality.

40th is not

Then i got ripped off with the nismo s tune front nose.... It was twice the price as the rest, just like the pearl white was too.

that sucks, I was under the understanding that 40th was a more in-depth process just like most pearl paints which end up costing more

I haven't had anything repainted yet but will need some touch ups in the next couple years

I know that 40th quartz is more expensive than normal 370z paint. its equal to the pearl white. buying it VS paying someone to paint something is 2 different things. I can buy a colour match spray can for the same price as magnetic black. however if I go to get something painted, it will be twice the price for the "painter" to spray....
I've experienced it already

One thing about those single stage without hardener spray cans is that they lack flex agent. The spray clear is same. Without it, on the bumper it would soon look like the moon peppered with chips. I would get proper stuff from PPG or equivalent rent a booth and do it properly. Then there's the compounding and wet sand, polishing...lots of work to get things done right. now thinking about it, i would just have it done by the pros saving the aggravation

this is why I don't understand why people always b!tch and think a paint job should be cheaper then they are. It's because a good one will actually take a lot more work to have it done properly, the wet sanding alone is hours worth of labour!

sure shop around get the best deal but make sure you ask the right questions and know that they are taking all the proper steps not just some hack job……

from what I understand, PW is a three stage paint. Isn't 40th single stage?

lmao i took the Z out today and went sideways for like an hour before someone called the cops. i ducked out the back entrance cuz a friend who was playing lookout told me two cops just rushed the parking lot.
zero tire wear drifting ftw. i didnt get any pics cuz it was last minute and my friends phone had to be kept free to call me.
i ended up washing the car and zip tying my plate to my mesh. its ugly but i wont get tickets lmao. SO EFFING CLEAN

I don't think so....
That's y our colour looks like dark grey, purple, graphite and even red in some lighting....
From the research i did, 40th was twice the price, equal to PW
