R34 Gt-t Paint/panel Damage : (

[Adriantc]

Hawo!!!!

So uhhh.... i used to have a really nice looking white r34 gt-t 1998 coupe

UNTILL!

1: Sticker on right bumper stuck on from first sale in japan nissan dealer, Wouldnt come off and is now off but with scratches and touch up paint on instead (looks a different shade of white)

2: Anyone remember hail storm in melbourne with peoples car getting written off/shat on? yeah well it happend to my car but not bad enough for me to make a claim :| has small dents in the bonet some on the rear top quarter panel and roof/various places. (maybe 5 MAX that are noticeable rest are tiny)

3: Soooo one day i was washing my car with our pressure washer (hookd up to our water tank) as we do with all our cars owned/previously owned, then as im doing the bonet at the front lip just before the front bar WOOSH a tiny bit of paint comes off...... now that has come off its getting bigger and worse and more and more is coming off... and im noticing some more around the car little flacks of paint coming off completely back to metal.

Soooo at the moment im almost in tears watching my pride and joy go from awsome to just another beat up skyline.

People have any ideas on what can be done about the paint/dents? ideas... places..pricing.. anything is helpful at this stage whilst i save up $ to hopefully fix it. I am not willing to spend much more on the car so hoping it can be a cheap fix or else ill have to sell it for a hell of alot less than i brought it.

ps. the car was imported through jap cars, im guessing the temperature change in counties has caused the paint to flake off.

thanks guys

it's not gonna be a cheap fix if you want the car to last.. should have made the claim as it is an issue now..

the dents you could try a dent doctor.. but your poaint sounds dodgy as it is.. so a full respray sounds like it will solve the issue permanently.. on the other hand.. how cheap you sell for?

take it to vu @ dt panels.

my car was in similar condition to urs (and i bought it from jap cars also lol) i didnt have any hail damage but i had guttered it a couple of times and had the side keyed so i got a full respray and had all the damage repaired and it was a fantastic job.

i got standard white with gold pearl and triple gold glitter thru it and its amazing now.

cost me 2500. i didnt get the door jams and boot jams done coz its going back shortly when the engine is out so ill get that all done.

also ss8_gohan on here had his car sprayed by vu like 5 or more years ago and the paint on that thing id f**king still in very good nick

I had paint come off on my r33 and my partners dad checked it out and he said there was no primer ever applied in that area, makes me wonder what was the go with Nissan's paint shop if a fair few people are having trouble with it... Hope your car looks as good as new soon
