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

tabrams31 · 05-03-2011, 07:41 PM

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!!

Tom

Jmi
Fantasy colors
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.

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!

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

azn370z · 05-06-2011, 08:53 PM

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

Spec Jay · 05-06-2011, 10:11 PM

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.

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.

on the last one you can see the beard barely hangning out under the lip
some refrence and my shoe gets wedged in tight underneath it if i try.
