Paint Mismatch

[rjenko]

Hi, I've just purchased a D40 in Arctic white and had a hard torneau cover fitted only to find when i picked it up that the whites are totally different. Not close at all. I'm currently following it up with the dealer but just wondering if this is common??

Definitely chase it up, almost every white nav i see with a canopy or hard lid is almost perfect..

thanks. I'm in the process at the moment with the dealer and Nissan. See how we go.

Heard this before on here. Two different whites on the Nav n wrong one.
Which brand canopy? Flexiglass?

It's not like the fitter couldn't tell it was wrong.

It's a genuine Nissan hardcover.

Nissan didn't even question it when they received the photos and had it re-sprayed. Given the number of them I see around town now that are poorly matched, I'm guessing they just count on people not complaining.

The spray painter did a great job and it now matches well.

Awesome.
Too bad one has to ask.
