Iky Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi, I scratched some paint in the engine bay and am thinkinking of getting it touched up. The paint is a different finish to the outside bodywork. Is it just not laquered or something? Or is it a different paint entirely? How hard would it be to blend in a repair? My colour code is 6N0 Gunmetal grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Its normal automotive paint mate (solvent, as water born wasnt about then), with 2k clearcoat on top, sounds like your cars been resprayed if the colour doesnt match the panels, or maybe they cut corners on the OEM spray and didnt do the engine bay all that well.

Im 99% sure the bay hasn't been re-painted. It just looks to be a more satin finish than the exterior. This is exactly like my 200sx, it looks like there has not been any laquer applied at the factory or it like some sort of more heat resistant paint.

Iky Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Maybe it's just dirty and needs a polish? In that case it looks like im gonna have to get the toothbrush out after ive had it touched up. Damnit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
