Did you do it yourself?

equalme 01-11-2014 01:03 PM
Yup. Supposedly closest color match to the 40th wheels out of a can

NismoZ70 01-11-2014 01:19 PM
What color paint did you use? I know the paint code for the 40th but what did you use?

Color code K11. I used duplicolor perfect match k11 smoke metallic.

I used 2k gloss clear coat to finish it off. Going to also spray some on the front bumper for some added protection for the crappy soft factory clear.

Well it looks awesome. Look forward to seeing it on your car. I need to paint my door handles. Tired of plasti dipping them now that I know the color I want

Why didn't you paint them the color of the car?

I preferred the different color contrast over color matching KAV. I initially had the evo-r carbon covers on the handles (bought the car with them on already) and I hated it. You could easily tell it was just a cover, but I did like the darkness of it.

Also for a custom can of KAV was about $50. I paid $35 for the K11 and 2k clear coat. Had enough clear coat to do both handles and three layers on the front bumper.

Looks good! Also would like to see when you install it.

Just an FYI, Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup has KAV at a good price and it matches amazing but I agree, the contrast might work out better.

Wish I knew about the duplicolor back in the day when I wanted to fix some curb rash on my OEM wheels

Ahh, :tup: for no plasti-shitt! :tup:

I wonder if they match well enough to spray the shine rear splats with. If they do match up perfectly, and with the use of the 2k clear coat...hell I don't need a body shop anymore for minor things.

I have plasti-dip fangs :tiphat:

Only thing I hate about plasti-dip is that it is like a damn chalk board.

Looks great. :tup:

See post below on reasonably priced paint. I painted my rims KAV and use automotivetouchup.com paint for nicks and scratches.
