Neilp Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 oh oh... can't help with the paint colour but most reputable body shops should do the homework before spraying imo... feel for you mate, but if it was done at a cheap price this is usually what happens. Hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl White paint code is QX1 thats the paint code i have on but its not the same as my car colour am gutted How much did you pay to get it done? Paint needs to be colour matched and can take various coats to get the colour correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Maybe your car was resprayed whilst in Japan? I think the other white Nissan use is Pikes Peak White. No idea what the paint colour is. Oh, and Pearly white is a bitch to get matched as its a 2 stage paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
