Getting Sunline Kit.. Need a great paint and body place for Pearl White!!! Help..
 

Hey guys - just ordered the sunline kit. I have the hardest paint to match - PEARL WHITE!! WTF.. So I'm needing a really good paint match body shop in the Seattle / Bellevue / Federal Way / Everette area. I don't care where - I just need someone to match this pearl white as best as they can. I undestand it's going to be hard, but I've also heard there are really good paint shops out there that will mix what they need to in order to get the paint close! I don't want someone to just get the paint code from Nissan and just do that color. I want them to get the paint code and then do tinting or whatever they need to do to match it.. Help as I'm soooooo anal regarding this matching..

Thanks guys in advance!!

I haven't used either one. No one can match the paint 100% unless they paint the body. I've used aldercrest rebuild.

Oh sh!t my boy Tom is step-in out gangsta thata boy. Hope it turns out super nasty and soon we need a all PW photo shoot. Holla buddy.
P.S. wish I knew of a good painter sorry

Yeah, spraying the whole body would be the surest way, my buddy has a pearl white Rav4 that needed a new bumper fascia after a fender bender and the mismatch is unfortunately quite noticeable from 20 feet. Hopefully you can find a shop that's really good, looking forward to seeing that kit!

Thanks guys - hope to have it done in 2 weeks time... Need to find a Sick paint shop!!!

I would not need a kit if I had your sick NISMO!! It's looking sick!!!

I hope that I can find a good paint shop...

just a heads up, ive been through 2 sunline front lips already :P it is not for the faint of heart.

Are you including the lip that flew off? That lip has very little ground clearance.

yeah that one is included in there, so 1 decided it didnt wanna be on the car anymore and one decided that it was hungry for a bump lol.

Crap - are you telling me its too low?

It's probably not too low for my car...lol!

:rofl2:

its not so much how low it is rather how how much it sticks out forward past oem, its about as low as the oem beard.

some refrence and my shoe gets wedged in tight underneath it if i try.

LOVE IT!!! :rofl2: Too funny!!!

I hope I don't have to slow down every time I enter any driveway.. That would suck.. Oh well.. beauty hurts...

Still need a really good paint shop!

So - I called aldercrest rebuild - really nice guy.. But does not want to touch the body kit becasue it's fiberglass... Damnnnnnnnn

And I talked to Bel-Red Rebuild as CNC motorsports told me they are a great shop.. Well $1,500.00 to do the job and install!! YIKES!! $1000.00 to just paint.. Crazy right? Or am I the crazy one?

I don't know if you got the kit or not but you should buy the real kit so it doesn't require work to make it fit. Painting should be about $600.

[QUOTE=tabrams31;1096013]You can count on angling and slowing down since you're lowered.

I have the aerojacket replica. Fittment is good except the rear drivers side.. I have the updated one on the way so we'll see how it goes.

Hit up JR at TAJ collision in Issaquah, not the cheapest but they do amazing work!

I had Barrett's Collision in Lakewood do my Nismo kit and it turned out pretty good. Though the best way would be to feather it into the body. But I think blue is more forgiving than white.

Thanks Guys - found someone to do it for 1K for install and paint.. So hopefully I'll have it done by next weekend..

Thanks for the help!!!

Update : no go on the Sunline - Getting Amuse
 

So - I had the paint shop "Try" to install the kit but the side skirts did not fit correctly.. So the front lip and the rear spats were fine. But my guy had already painted the front lip, side skirts, and rear spats before we realized that the side skirts were not up to my specifications..

Long story short - lip will be for sale and rear spats will be too here in about a week.

I'm ordering the Amuse body kit..

If anyone is interested in the rear spats or front lip - let me know.. I will throw in the side skirts for free if you want to give them a try..

You should test fit anything that's not oem. You should get the real kit and not a knock off.looking forward to another z with a bodykit. Come to that meet next Saturday.

wow, havent heard of anyone having problems installing the skirts. who did you buy from?

Sorry for the late reply.. Got it from a guy on the forum that got it from Rick at VIP.. The front lip is fine and the rear spats are fine, but the side skirts were not spot on.. Could I have made them work, yes - but they would not have looked that great.. Hard to explain..

But will be selling the lip and rear spats soon.. :) Hope to get the Amuse kit on this week..

They did Griffy Jrs flair kit on his Panemara…………I know ..yuk but the trust was there. I met Dominick Little the owners son at a gas station (~1 year ago) and he ran over to me and gave his card saying they'd love to do some 370Z work.

So I tried to go to Bel-Red Auto and in the end they wanted to charge me $4K to do the work.. Paint and install.. WTF.. I'm going to get into the auto paint business!!

What are the specs on those Te37's? I really like it!
