*UPDATE*
The Zenki went back in the paint shop for a complete stripping again! The first paint job was fine for one month and then the paint started to seperate underneath the clear coat. I walked up to the car one day back in June and it looked like huge scratch marks but there were no scratches in the clear coat. I took it back and the paint company (something-STAR) which produced the clear coat ordered took samples and then ordered for a complete repaint of the car and they will pay every cent! It was DuPont paint underneath that seperated. DuPont wouldn't do a thing about it! DuPont, you suck!
Yes, I am still getting the hood scheme. I like it...I am also having them bore out the washer nozzle holes in the hood so I can install Kouki nozzles instead.
Anyway, +1 for that paint company! I have already had the car in and it is completely stripped again. I will probably have another month wait before it is out of the paint shop again.

I am going with the exact same paint job because that is the original color of the car. The hood scheme will get a minor adjusting to help the lines flow better.

The difference is that the car is down to the metal just after a complete repaint. It has to have a repaint again because the Ruby Pearl paint was separating underneath the clear coat which created huge gaps/cracks in the paint. It started this all of a sudden one day when the car was parked under the sun. I usually keep both of my 240sx's in the garage.motoman399 wrote:

I will update photos when the car comes out of the paint shop again.

My fault. The Zenki Washer Nozzles are more narrow and taller than the Kouki Nozzles which are more flat and wide and have more of a low profile look to them.numbnuts240 wrote:he meant, what's the difference between zenki washer nozzles and kouki washer nozzles. i'd like to know as well.
