Went to the body shop, they said I had to get my car entirely repainted. Told Nissan I don't want repaint and I should have an answer by Monday hopefully.

keep saying that! i did. thats why i was payed off i think.

My car is only 4 weeks old and I'm not settling for repaint. I didn't buy this car to be disassembled and painted. Hopefully works out.
How's the repaint coming along?

my car was an hour old...that is whe i started! i tryed to have them buy it back and they would not.

the best thing will be...is what i did.

as for the repaint...looked at it again last night, i think it looks good! they tell me anything i want they will do!

That's good to hear. I will try and see what happens. I can't wait to see how your car comes out, it will be most likely better than factory job. Factory paint job is very cheaply done with barely any clear coat on it which is why these stupid stains are able to seep through the clearcoat and ruin the car.

few more pics!

jazz · 12-03-2011, 01:29 PM

also getting the centers of the bumpers painted out black. they were in the paint room, could'nt get in there.

LakeShow · 12-03-2011, 07:02 PM

Wow man that's serious. I don't like how they left the cabin uncovered and I can see some dust and stuff build up on the seats and engine bay is exposed. That's just me, I'm very anal about stuff like that. It appears that is some type of Nissan shop because all the pics you posted had Nissans in them. Maybe coincidence?

jazz · 12-03-2011, 09:09 PM

They had just done that...I said the same thing! They also said ghey will clean it up...and if I'm not happy they will keep cleaning it lol. It will be fine. I hope!

Kenny - gorgeous pics! I just got the 2012 Nismo in GM...such a smokin' color!

jazz · 12-05-2011, 01:24 PM

pic of the rear bumper.

LakeShow · 12-05-2011, 11:13 PM

Nice Jazz looks like its coming out really well so far. Color looks spot on but will need to be compared to previous photos. Is your rear diffuser black or not finished yet?

jazz · 12-06-2011, 07:17 AM

it is black! also did the front.

LakeShow · 12-07-2011, 10:29 PM

Looks good. Can't wait to see finished product.
