And none of these really worked, all turned out few shades too dark. I am going to try few other paint suppliers and also try to fix (lighten up) the paint I already have, hopefully something positive happens.
Just venting at this point  |
I went into a car painters wholesalers , gave them the code and they mixed up a little bottle of touch up paint
Name they had for it KAV code is not what Nissan call it . .but its the same colour
KAV = Grey Pearl
and my 350z KYO
KYO = sporty silver metallic
50 grams of paint cost $25NZ in a touch up bottle with a brush in lid.
