Nismo R2 Engine Colour

[Borci88]

So I'm chasing the colour for this engine pictured here. From all the pics that I've seen it looks like a wrinkle, grey with a blue hue?
Obviously Nissan wouldn't release the paint code, but does anybody have any ideas how I would go about finding something similar? Just keep buying paint from bunnings until something comes close? Sorry about the big first picture!

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

It's purdy. Got a granite look

just something inside me twitches with the thought of replicating an R2 or F engine colour

Can handle the Nur etc.... but not these. But that's just me

Will look cool

Im pretty sure ice seen craved coatings do custom colour wrinkle paint. Ive even thought about replicating the valley ornament cover and nismo badge on the front lol. Good luck post pics when ur happy with ur result

Thanks guys, am currently just spraying it wrinkle black then I'm going to put a light top coat of colour over the top, I've tested it already and it does look good with a top coat, it's just hard to get the right colour!

Does wrinkle plus a top coat stand up to heat and is it sturdy enough to handle a few spanner taps as you're working on piping etc?

[Borci88]

I guess we'll find out soon! Longer I leave it to cure the stronger it will be, but heat and spanner taps on the top coat is yet to be tested!
