Alright lads,im about to start a restoration on my sunny and I want to get the rocker cover refurbed, are they powder coated or painted? What gets the best results, it has to look brand new, also who does it any recommendations....im in dublin but dont mind sending it to the uk.
Thanks

Mine was painted in a body shop.

It was chemically stripped and cleaned then sprayed - Skyline Bayside Blue (code: TV2)

Its been on my car for 8 years and still looks good!

I just cleaned mine and gave it a rough sanding with a disk on my angle grinder, then resprayed it "Nissan Red" with a rattle can. - Slightly too bright compared to factory; I think I've got a "cherry" red and it should be "pepper", but I'm happy enough with the result.

I'm pretty sure they're just painted as standard, which is why after twenty-something years the paint is coming off many of them.
