DoogyRev Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I thought Nissan did them for £6 (ish) Well that how much my touchup pen was, but that was Universal Silver. I would guess anything for a 370 will be more than a 350. An alternative . . . . :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 did a bit of research, Nissan GX1 should be the same as QAB, ordered some from fleabay, £8 delivered, will test a bit first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Nah just touching up the odd chip I have already, paint seems just as soft as it was on the 350, a finger nail even marks it so it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) You will not get a storm white touch up from a NIssan UK dealer. The reason Nissan wont ever be supplying you with a touch up pen is the fact it will never ever match the colour of the car. You get the final colour/effect by applying the correct amount of separate pearl coat over the solid white. Not enough = to light. To much pearl = to dark /creamy. So really you will need 3 pots of paint. solid white, semi transparent pearl, then your clear. This is the route that I went with the R35, however it is difficult to get the match spot on. Alex. .

neo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Thanks for the info Alex Wondered why it was hard to google places for it, hopefully I won't get too many large chips, famous last words....... Something as got to be better than the black spots that are there now, stand out like a sore thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne370Z Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I got some from E bay or some other internet supplier (can`t remember exactly now) and they advised that they didn`t guarantee an exact match but it is close enough and, as you say, a lot better than the black showing through.

Ebized Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I did buy this one: Came from the US - was OK for temporary touch-up (carried it in the car) but the ballpoint quickly seized up and the in-built brush was obviously as large as they could get in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 thx Colin, the qx1 I ordered as arrived, will test on some scrap black plastic to see if its a close match yeah the brushes they put in the tubes are too large for doing small stone chips, used cocktail sticks to touch up the ones on the 350.
