Paint match....

[OnMy2ndE30]

Just getting an fyi out there for the zinno owners out there. I have found a damn near dead on match for the zinnoberot on our cars.

Rustoleum Regal Red.

I know there are going to be haters out there, but another forum member,
Schnitzer318is helped me swap on a coupe decklid on my vert and we sprayed a small spot under the zinno decklid we took off and it is damn near a dead on match to the factory zinno paint. Even he, the San Antonio E30 guru was amazed at how close the color match was. I bought a set of delphin power mirrors from him and I am going to be spraying those soon to see exactly how good of a match the Regal Red is. Pictures to come in the next few days.......

Someone please find one for brillantrot..my valences look like absolute shit.

I decided I didnt want to wait and gave this a shot myself.

My is spoiler needs to be painted anyways so I picked up a can of regal and gave it a quick spray.


keep in mind this is without sanding, prep, primer work. This is 2 light coats in the corner which was originally flaked and destroyed.

The temperatures were too cold for paint (40s) but I did it anyways...

The pictures were taken 6 hours after the paint was applied.

I dont have a real camera just a blackberry and ipod touch.... this is the lesser of 2 evils.

so... keeping all that in mind check out the pictures below... overall I can see some potential.

I havent taken it off yet but im sure if you hop under there you can find it.

Ill pull mine off if im lucky this weekend to start to prep... if other stuff goes as planned

[stamar]

is there a source for fender penstriping?

[Jkersh]

you can buy a pinstripe "gun" or take it to some one after..........

Or

if you're really bold.... use a thin paint brush and a steady hand ;)

Paint match spoiler

Banner red looked closer to my faded zinno than the regal red did. I'm exceptionally color blind though.
