Yes, its actually seven coats of paint, hand sanded, and everything, thats what Nissan NA (or Canada) told me......Its crazy and its costs $3k extra.

Its this color btw



here in Canada it cost $83k fully loaded, and the only option you have is the color. And the wait is 1 year and half .

Funny thing is that it has the same price as a nicely loaded E92 M3.......Personally, Im going with an M3 .

Yeah that's the super silver option.

I saw it side-by-side against a dark silver GTR and didn't actually think it was better. If anything they should charge extra for the dark silver paint...now that was good looking.

BTW, outside of the GT-R, Nissan is a pretty sad car company.
yea nissan is a sad car company but thats the whole reason why the need a car like the GTR because it will help boost sales of their other "normal" cars.
