Dealer Nametag/Gouged Paint

gurneyeagle · 08-25-2011, 11:13 PM

Well, in the old days, they used to rivet the dealer tags on the trunk!

That gouge looks too big for Dr. Color Chip.

What about covering it with a NISMO tag? A carbon fiber one wouldn't look too bad.

I did something similar - I had the shop touch it up professionally (clean the area and apply the paint properly without drips and stuff) and applied a Fairlady nametag there, which I wanted to do anyway. It looks great now.
