live2themaxuk Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I have attemped a repair on my own car using Holt DupliColour Kuro Black spray paint and the colour has NOT matched my JDM Black Z! initially i thought it was because i had not laquered it, which i didnt think it had, i then re did it and laquered it and it STILL has not matched. The new paint actually seems 'lighter' from some angles than the original paintwork. Either 1) Im really really crap at painting (im not) 2)Holt Duplicolour is not the 'no1 Paint Match' it claims to be 3)JDM Black is NOT UK Kuro Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardesco Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Is it a darker or lighter black? Kuro is Japanese for the darkest shade of black there is. If it is lighter (as i suspect) it is the Holt Duplicolour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2themaxuk Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yes, the 'new' fresh paint is lighter!! annoying as i put in so much work recently on it to get it right, just a scratch on the rear bumper, but digging out the air gun, then cleaning it and sanding etc, put in at least 8 hours work, all screwed due to paint match or lack there of its booked into a body shop now though, and will have a nice shiny new front bumper on it soon (Aerosync) so i guess its not all bad. I just want to make sure THEY match the paint right! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanpimpernel Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 i`ve got some KH3 Kuro black from Nissan which I shall give a go and see how things match. I`ll post up the results good or bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2themaxuk Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 is it a big repair job you are doing? or just a little touch up with the touch up pen? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
