Hello all! Hope you are well. I just have a quick question. I have a few small chips in my paint and I'm looking to get a touch up bottle of paint for this. I have a 1991 R32 GTR painted in KH2. When looking for KH2 I find allot of Charcoal Pearl Metallic KH2 and obviously that's a different name from Gun Metallic Grey KH2. The code of KH2 is obviously the same but names are different. Did Nissan just change the name at some point but they are the same paint or if I buy the Charcoal Pearl Metallic KH2 it will be different from my current paint on the car. Thanks for the help in advance. Have a wonderful night/day and I look forward to hearing from some of you!

Metallic touch up paints bought at a distance are a waste of time.

Take it to a trusted crash repairer and get them to match and mix you up a small amount for brush touching.

Thank you! Yea ive thought about this im just not sure how much thats gonna run me. I will look into it thought so thanks for the advice.

Does it really matter?

No it doesn't matter I'm just asking for hell of it... It matters in the sense that its easier to find a charcoal grey metallic KH2 touch up can over a Gun grey metallic KH2 can. Also cheaper. 

I think my point is more..... what does it matter if you go to a shop and get a matching mix for, say, $100, vs. spending $30 on a touch up pen that doesn't match. You're not blowing your money. You are spending your money correctly (when you spend more to get proper stuff).

They are likely going to be different colours. Best way to know for sure is still going to be to go to a paint supply shop and just ask them to compare the Hex code for the two colours.

 

And then while you're there, get them to mix you up a can for cheaper than you would pay to get off-the-shelf non-matching junk.

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
