While you are right about Nissan's paint. 99% of all car manufacturers use paint by other companies like BASF, Dupont, Sherwin-Williams. No such thing as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Ford, Nissan, etc paint.

Maziora is located in japan though so its technically JDM lol

Im using Richey Collision. Weird enough its just down the street from SGP. The quality is awsome as well as the customer service. Its the only body shop that I have ever liked. The turn around time can be slow at times depending on what you are having done since they are usually packed with cars.

I got a chance to see a TS wide body 350z they did a couple years ago and while the paint was nice I wasn't impressed with how they fitted the kit or the fiberglass work. Things might have changed since then. For bolt on body kits and stuff they seem to do good work. Plus I knew Chris and Karen already over at Richey Collision and wanted to go to them.

Next time you are on the north side you can come check my car out and see how it looks. Being black it will show everything and so far it looks perfect

Its still there. Motor is still being broken in. I basically just drove it to the body shop after we got it started so it doesn't have any street miles yet. Im taking the front fenders tomorrow to get the inner fender wells coated so I'll be up there around 2:00p
