Body localised spraying.

Hi I'm now on to carrying out a few paint repairs. I bought a spray paint kit (5 years ago) in Tornado grey.
The roof channels and the tailgate shut at the roof line required attention.

Roof channel completed

This had never been painted.
Nissan must have used an equivalent of a spray can for the whole car!!!

Now rubbed down and treated with a rust prevention.

Now in primer ready for the top coats.
 
Must admit that if I had to make a criticism of the original manufacturing standard of my K11 that it would be lack of paint. At first I thought that it was poorly repaired prior accident damage but then realised the little bugger had never been painted properly in the first place!

The engine bay is a different colour as well being similar to China blue.
 
Now finished the spraying, the paint is reasonable match considering 20 years of fading with the original.
I bought the paint from paints4u. They supply kits with all you need for repair jobs.
