veritech-z Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Go ahead guy, I posted them for you. I think the bre reference would be lost if you did the bottom flat black, but it would still look pretty cool. But I would use white instead of the gray, and red instead of the black on top.

Chewievette Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've got tons of body work to do below the beltline so I want to do it in something that is easy to touch up, hence the flat black. I'm going to play with the colors some more and see what looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Flat white might be better, since flat black makes any substandard bodywork extremely noticeable (bitter voice of experience). I've discovered that blue and gray camo hides it very well however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I guess I could try flat white, if it doesn't work then its easy to cover. I just finished up this drawing, I have an evolution of this in mind that I'll post in a few Version 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 That's looking pretty good. you ought to throw it on the car. Using red and white, you could probably leave your flat orange as the base coat for the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutthehutt Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Veritech, I went and saw Pirates of the Carribean last night. There was a Pre-Preview for a new movie. TRANSFORMERS. But then again, I bet you already knew about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Since my budget for this month just got shot in the foot, about all I can afford to do with it is a spray bomb paint job. I dont know when I'll do it but soon, I'll post when it happens. btw, when do we get the pics that dont have overspray?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Oh, I can go take some sexy sitting in the rain at dusk photos right now, I kind of thought that this thread's days were over, so I was going to let it go quietly into the night...Hey wingnutt, go check out my myspace page for some hot transformers action: www.myspace.com/ninjadatsun. But yes, I was very aware that the Transformers live action movie was in the works. Also there is a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion movie being made by some people afiliated with the Lord of the Rings movies which (if the promo art is anything to go by) will be pretty spectacular.

Chewievette Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I just shot some orange on the hood(it was green) and It totally doesn't match, its kinda funny how it looks now. I'm pretty sure that my car is faded red, not orange. Of course originally the car looks to have been brown, definately not going back to that.. I've got to work on my former DD for a while today so I'll just let my bright orange hood dry. Maybe tomorrow I can do the camo on the top.

veritech-z Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Might as well do the whole top in orange now I guess. I've got some great ideas for a Z31 paint job, too bad I don't have one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I just stumbled across some pics of the Z police cars which might also make for interesting camo spinoffs. I think I'll stick with the BRE for now though, already started dontcha know. I apparently cant work on my DD today because my Dad locked it and took the keys with him so I'm screwed on that point, I can either keep surfing the net waiting for him to get home or go paint the Z. Decisions, decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haukenes Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 The camo cars are so cool, too bad i don't have the time and money to post one of mine... darn college budget. although my 280 is my DD so its kinda hard to mess with... So the pictures that you stumbled across, are they the transformers TV show 'cop Z' cars, or are they actual pictures? because if they are the real ones, i'd absolute love to have copies of them, being a Public Saftey employee who drives a Z...

Chewievette Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'll throw up some links for you in a minute. They are all real Police Z cars, Z432, 240zg, 280z 2+2, and a few other cars too. Take a look through this thread, plenty of pics... http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15837 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hey Chewie, why don't we start a new thread about the BRE camo? I'm sure we'd get a few people up in arms about that one. Nobody has any strong feelings about the zzzap! scheme, but I'll bet you raise some eyebrows with this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haukenes Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Those are SO absolutely cool... i'd build a replica... but i think that my Lieutenant would absolutely kill me! Lol. Thats the coolest thing i've seen in a while, i bet a 240 would look sweet decked out with some modern police gear! maybe i could photoshop it and out it on here somewhere... or do the camo police cruiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'd love to do a modern 240z interceptor but since I have no afiliation with the police, its probably not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haukenes Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 yeah... you might get away with it as a show car, but you'd have to trailer it sice you wouldn't be able to drive it on the road... probably wouldn't be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'm telling you, if you do the police car, you have to put "panty inspector" on the badge instead of "police inspector" or whatever. And you'd have to make the colors different, so you could do like Kawasaki Green on White instead of black or blue on white. Then there would be no mistaking it not being a real police cruiser.
