Need Advice on Scratches
I have 3 scrathes on my Z and I'm not sure which is the best way to repair them. I've ordered some touch-up paint from Nissan, but is it the best option for the chips? Will the touch-up paint make it look worse? I've already had issues with shops not being able to match the Pearl White when I had my door handles done. Please advise...

touch up paint will do fine. Won't be perfect but if you want perfection you will be spending several hundred $ at the body shop repainting those areas. Not worth it.

i would use touchup for that too. make sure to use a white base primer (minimum gray) so that you have a better chance coming closer to the colors of the panels.
if you only have gray primer, i suggest you paint that matte white first before applying the pearl white at the end. |
