stevechode Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 cut all the factory mounts like battery tray, MAF etc. to give it a cleaner look. this is NOT the final color, this is just the base for the candy. You all will be suprised about the color, ive never seen it done on a Z. got the car taped up today at about 6 and andy sprayed the sealer then 3 coats of silver base. then we realized we were out of candy, so we have to wait til 2morrow to finish painting it. luckily the silver allows for 24 hours of work time between coats. ill keep yall updated 2morrow and the rest of this weekend on it, the painting should be done 2morrow evening so ill get some updated pics. ill be making some BIG progress the end of this week.

blue72 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Very clean look. Really nice when you consider that that's just the basecoat. One thing I saw though, is your hood latch support dented? I'll be keeping an eye on this thread if even just to see the final color.

stevechode Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 yea it is a bit on the corner. the hood fit good the way it was before. if i have 2 straighten it any ill do when lining the hood up to the fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevechode Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 got the painting done, front suspension back underneath it, and the ls1 mounts installed. the camera dont do justice for the color. the color actually looks identical to the color on this rx7 when u seen it in person.

DavyZ Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Stellar job! Looks like you are doing excellent work and the paint almost *dare I say it?* glows! Man, that's cool. Good choice on color The gloss black on the front crossmember was a cool idea too--most are flat or satin black. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
