Hey guys, have an N15 that is basicly an EXACT copy of the one below. the problem is the rear sils just in from of the back wheels, it has rusted. on mine the rust has been removed and filed in. however it is bright red!.
How would I go about...
1) getting the weird colour shown below
2) painting over the rust filler

I also have some paint that has flaked on the front bumper which I would like to replace if possible.

forgive me, im a complete newbie when it comes to this!

Check under the bonnet on the VIN plate on near the brake fluid reservoir, there will be info on the car etc, look for a paint code. It'll be 2 letters and a number usually, e.g BP0 or AR2

Or it might be on the passenger side wing on a little sticker. Then either get a copy made from Nissan or Halfords. Id go for Nissan though. Alternatively that site above looks alright
 
Not sure really, not my strong point. I did a bit on my rear arches and its not that bad. Im pretty sure halfords would have guides on painting for free near the paint section if I remember rightly. Just prep it well, wet and dry sanding up through the grades with light covering of primer etc. Take your time seems to be the key, which is where I loose patience :lol:
 
Should be quite an easy area to paint ( ie its not in the middle of a door panel ) genuine nissan paint will give a good finish and match.
