This question came up before, recently.
You could probably get some touch up paint in the correct color from a Nissan dealer, since I have seen a Maxima and Torano(sp) in the same color.

Ray

If I remembered correctly, Hiroboy has done one 350Z in that colour.

Lemans Sunset Orange i believe.

You are correct. :)

... and the code for the colour is A17 ;)

:D

first off, I know the Tamiya paint Chart preaty all in mind...

Second Off, I know Hiroboy made one, but he never awnser my post or PM, so I need to find the anwser somewhere !

Ok, now where to get Lemans Sunset ? touch up paint from nisan is not a good idea.. fist it'S very expensive, and I would need 3 or 4 touch up paint stick (so near 40$ for the paint)

Any idea ??

the closet you can get to that color is available through duplicolor and i think it might be dark unless you use white primer i lost the cap so i cant tell you what color it is exactly buyt go to a auto parts store and check out the selection

Hiroboy posted a link to a Nissan parts dealer in Texas selling touch-up paint in that color. I don't know where the link is, though..

Wow! I'm going to some for myself.:eek:

I don't think you will need that many if your airbrushing it! maybe get a second one to be sure.

ok will take a look at this.. last question, you clean the airbrush with witch thinner ? Tamiya, testor other ?

Just talked with one of my friend, and he told me that a store near me doing Spraycan for ANY paint of Car manufacture (tutch up spraycan)

For 20$, I can get a 8oz spraycan... So I will ask for a Nissan A17

tahnks for your help

Whatever is appropriate for the paint you use. In this case a spray can will be better not only because its easier, but the cellulose thinner you are likely to need for this paint is very nasty stuff and extra care is need when you clean the airbrush.
