Chewievette Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Think you could redo mine in powdercoat? Like the way I painted it but powder is so much tougher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003z Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Same as it is already' date=' just in powder instead of paint. [img']http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/medium/100_7228.jpg[/img] thats a tough one, I have to think about the process for how to do that. Is the nissan polished, or just sanded to satin? I think it wouldn't be too much more work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Its sanded to a satin finish. The red is the only gloss used, I've never been a fan of shiny parts on cars . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewievette Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Cool! I cant get it done just yet because I have to get my car running good before making it pretty but I'll definately be in touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruez Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 That green looks really nice on the black, Mike... Was that a candy lime green ?? It looks similar to a set of CBR wheels that I just did the other day.. The red and black VC with the clear would at least be a 3 stage process.... I did a set of M/T valve covers for a Mustang with blue and silver with polished letters, the process would be similar to that one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Cruez, its eastwood's lime green with a little black tint added to it. They say the black tint darkens colors, and I expected it to work like a candy and blend in a little better than 2 solid colors, but if you look close you can see the black in it. Mine was a 3 stage process too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workinprogress Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I thought Powder coat doesnt blend like liquid paints. In my experience if you mix multiple colors, you'll just get a mosiac effect. My shop does PC for subs, and we've tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My shop does PC for subs, and we've tried it.pretty much thats the way it is. If you look closely you can see 2 colors when you blend them. However, for Nissan 350z daytona blue, its the only way I was able to duplicate the color. That was 2 blues very close in shade though, so it was ok. The stuff I used on this one is advertised like this: "Black Tint can be added to any of our powders to alter the shade.", so I gave it a try. Its not perfect, but it did darken up the lime green to an acceptable shade. I put the cover on today and it looks remarkable in the car.
