wickiewicked240z Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 if i had enough money for red paint i would off gone with red instead of artic white, but at $300 to $400and up a gallon to much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juarez88 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 just save for a carbon hood. so that way you dont have to say something like " it looks cool " or.. " to make it look faster " if someone asks why you painted it black. In los angeles I see 3-5 ricer cars a day driven by older men (usually hispanic looking, ps. i am hispanic). They probably bought them for pennies off the teenagers who felt embarrassed after making them look funky years ago after seeing 2 fast 2 furious. I just get a bad vibe from the whole want the " go faster look "when I see cars. Your car looks great the way it is and has some good parts. I would save some bucks and make the car perform even better and get a carbon hood and hatch if wanted the " go faster look ". It'll cost a pretty penny for carbon fiber, but once it's done. it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78280z Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think the red looks amazing. Hopefully I will someday own a Z that looks as sharp as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Looks like red is winning 3 to 1. Maybe the solution for me is to own 2 Zs . J/K, the car will be staying all red for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelToad Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 When you paint one part of your car, it does not make that part look better. What it does is make the other parts look worse. I'd say clean the whole thing good, apply some Meguires (http://www.meguiars.com) all over, and wait till you can afford a proper paint job. BTW, it looks great the way it is, maybe just some Armor-All on those wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 The problem is after I spend a whole day hitting it with a polisher it will look good but after a month or two the hard water spots will come back. It's getting to the point where the paint is getting thin at certain spots. I just don't have the time to polish the car every month with a infant son in the house. I'm gonna try and polish it one more time and use a good synthetic wax this time instead of carnuba. It's really not bothering me as much these days beacause I finally got my R/T mount installed and the car is running good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_furious Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm in the 'leave it red' camp, as well. As for the airdam, you may want to try painting just the lower lip of it black after a quick sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazterDizazter Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Definitely leave it red. Battlescars are cool! My airdam is all chipped up and I like it that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Black is the safe way to go. If you use the main body color, it can look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeoster Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I always thought ricers painted their hood black because they couldnt get a carbon fiber one for some reason. You are obviously not a ricer, sheesh just look at those rims those are hot. Nice red paint as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
