It did look nice, but it looks A LOT better with the clear coat on IMO. :tup:

I'm curious about this. I spoke with a bodyshop today about getting a Matte Gray and the guy said he has a method which he incorporates a clear coat in order to protect the matte and prevent it from fading out.

I know this guy is on the ball and very honest from my dealings with him in the past, just curious if anyonje can shed some light on this?

Sorry for the Hijack Docaam, the red looks badasz!

There is a method to making a matte clear coat. I have read about it before but have since forgotten what it was. Matte paint without a clear will fade and be a pain to clean.

WOW!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:

docaam 06-24-2011 01:22 PM

There is a clear for matte the bodyshop showed me two canS they needed to mix it. But I wanted shiny effect as matte gets dirty soon and difficult to clean. I used a special clearcoat which has more shine so atleast it will make any F40 owner think when I will ever park next to a Ferrari that Nissan paint quality is better lol

The shade is very light compares to OEM red and comparing two Nissan shade looks maroon

I thinks doc's car has changed it's look more than any other 370 in the world. It's a real transformer, in a good way.

You just need the gtr shifter and a SC kit for both of us.

:rofl2: I have realised that I have exhausted the budget for the Z so after current things won't be spending anymore for a while. But that's how we always think isn't lol

Actually instead of SC I want to do a project car most probably a S30 daddy Z

:iagree::iagree: I have the touring seats and i'd still love to get these. It's a easy choice not to though, as there isn't a good shop to do it or paint/bodywork or any mods for hundreds of miles.
