this is my first paint experience so brace yourself.
this is jaymar's (cleton-z- 5.3-T 280z) old air dam.
here's pretty much what I started with. it was silver/gray.
sanded it pretty good. there was only a couple rough spots but I smoothed it over pretty well.
went at it with a can of black rattle can primer. i got one of these things so it was actually pretty easy and didn't hurt my fingers as much as holding the can normally would.
after a few lightish coats of primer, i took a couple of cans of "auto black exterior paint"
not sure what caused that little discrepancy. so i painted over it of course
then i used a can of clear coat on it. i did maybe 3 to 5 really light coats.
here's the finished product! i'm pretty happy with it.
i'm just sketched out on the mounting..there's only a couple screws holding it in right now! i'll have to drill more places for it to hold to stronger.
in a little while that unsightly air filter will be replaced with an intercooler of course.
what do you guys think?
other than the already posted blue oval z, YZ cars, and the Q45TT Z, this thread cannot go on without mention of the primadonna z's
and my all time favorite z car... eric bernsteins blown 5.0 ford powered IMSA flared 240z
not mine of course. 280zex on zcar.com posted this
