Looking for Pearl White Mud Guards

litesky · 11-01-2010, 03:01 AM

I know I should post this in the wanted section but I thought I'd ask here first due to the nature of this request.

I'm working with Docaam (in Dubai) to get his Shine Auto Kit in red painted to Pearl White. I am unsure of the color matching so I suggested that I send over something that's already painted pearl white so that his body shop can perform the color matching.

Is anyone with a PW willing to "lend" a single mudguard htat's already painted PW? This will be sent to Dubai for color matching and sent back with Docaam's kit to me. I will return then. I can work out insurance/pricing on the mudguard in the event it is damaged and lost.

Thanks for reading!

Odds are people might not want to take the part off their car unless they are selling all four. My best suggestion is to buy one at the dealership and have it painted and send that over. But in all honesty your better off having it shipped and painted here, yeah, it may cost a little more, but at least it can be matched to your car.

Yea you should paint it here. The pw guards on my car did not match the car.

litesky · 11-01-2010, 02:08 PM

May i ask what are the advantages of painting it here or there? I ask because some of us have seen Docaam's car and its obvious that the paint job done was pretty good. If I get it done here it doesn't necessarily guarantee and correct color match either. Unless you guys know of a reputable paint place? Will they refund back a certain portion of the paint cost if the color match isn't correct? The same questions that apply here would also apply there as Docaam will inspect the integrity and quality of the paint job.

Aww man. In your opinion how far off was it?

- The Levels -
Way off
Noticeably Off
Have to look close to see the difference
Very close
Exact match

the mud guards arent pearl white. they are just white.
so that would have been terrible for you.

also it may be cheaper to paint it there, but it wont be done right. should get it done here.

holy mackerel. that definitely would've been bad.

daisuke149 · 11-01-2010, 02:35 PM

the smaller part you could send him that is "pearl" white is a fuel door. but again, pearl white done there, may not be done to perfectly match the rest of your car.

litesky · 11-01-2010, 04:06 PM

i asked a question earlier.

Likewise, what guarantees the fact that pearl white will be an exact color match here in the US?

I got my shine auto rear spats painted at Fountain Valley Body Works and the guy did like 5 variations of the Nissan Color Pearl White and put them on a tab. He then put them up to my car and chose the closest tab. Color match w/ pearls came out perfect!

If you tell the guy overseas to paint it Nissan Pearl White, you can bet it won't match.

Perfect, 370Z JT! I'll check Fountain Valley Body Works out!
