93 Berlina Repaint to 2018 NSX Nord Grey Metallic
- Thread starter NewEra
- Start date
Loved the Clarion build and can't wait to see how this one turns out!
Some new shots of the rockers and the spoiler, to show off the depth and color of the Nord Gray Metallic paint. The car itself is still not painted, but should be next week.

Looks fantastic so far, man. I'm tempted to do my car in a different color myself...maybe one day.
The 2019 NSX was announced to have a Thermal Orange pearl color option... looks pretty badass! Somebody should do a 91-05 NSX in this color. No pressure. Lol.
Okay guys, progress is slower than i was hoping, but ain't that always the case with our cars. Anyway, to show the level of detail going into to painting my car, here are some photos of the jambs and doors being painted.

oh man, i want to see this back together!
Depends on where you go and who you know, but generally a repaint the same color about $5-6k, color change is closer to $8-10k. But the owner of Bells & Vaughn is a friend of mine, so I’m getting the hookup since i built them a killer new web site, just don’t know what that means yet.

I hope so! It's a risk painting any car a new color, and we all know how good NSXs look in black. Judging on how good yours looks in gray though, i have confidence in my choice to color change my car.
I'd be up for that. Where are you located?

SF Bay Area, but don't mind the odd excuse to drive south. Just have to find someone good down there to get all the I-5 bugs off before taking pictures!
Waterless car wash is your friend

More updates. Bumpers now painted. Yeah, i realize the rear valance should be matte black in the center... It will be. I promise.

What if you left the 2 "rails" in the middle body color?
The progress continues... painting the little details
Now that the door jambs and the outer perimeter of the doors are painted, the doors have been reinstalled onto the car.
As of this morning, the car is in the paint booth, getting painted. Starting with the Berlina Black roof.
More to come this afternoon!

Base coat laid down, clear coat to follow.
The paint portion of the job is now complete! Clear coat has been laid down and the color literally pops! No regrets!
Next steps: put the car back together, color sand, polish, replace various body seals, install the new Circuit Werks exhaust and figure out what to do about wheels. Tons more photos to come!

Wow. Watching the progress.
Paint is now dry and the car has been rolled out into the sunlight so that we can get a good look at the color. Thoughts? Next steps, color sanding, polishing and reassembly.
