Scottie-GNZ Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 My white Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothZ Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Whats wrong with creamy? I'm planning on painting my Z a pearl white and I like the fact that its creamy, kinda gives it that vintage look. Nothing wrong with creamy. I have the pearl white 350, and before that I had a pearl white 300ZX. I was just saying that there's nothing wrong with it.

Better than before though, that's what I keep telling myself! haha, i am in the process of doing a cheapo white Rustoleum job as well. Question. What did you do to paint the jams? Especially by the rear hatch mounting points and doors? Did you just use Rustoleum spray paint? I would imagine getting in there with a roller would be pretty difficult. Did you just use a 1 to 1 mixture of Rustoleum and thinner? Any chance to get a close up picture of the paint? Car looks great man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct- I'm just using the same gloss white in a spray can for the jambs, hard to reach areas, spots I missed, etc. I used a cheap spray gun and it came out okay...not the greatest but I've almost finished the wetsand/compound/buff process and it definitely makes it better. Sprayed with a 4-1 paint to acetone mix. I'll get some close-ups once I get the compounds worked in...thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrcbonk Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Thats great you guys are using Rustoleum white. I am using it as a durable undercoat/primer for my engine bay, headlight scoops, front quarter, and rear end. I found an outfit in Sacramento called Original Paints. They will put your paint code in a can premixed with clear coat. For my 1971, its 904 Ivory White. I cleaned the engine bay then hit it with the Rustoleum. I am in the process of wet sanding the rustoleum with 1000 grit before I lay down the Original Paint. We will see. I removed the headlight scoops b/c there was some damage to the fiberglass that I had to fix. They are easier to paint hung up. Disregard the line that was from a previous effort that went horribly wrong. You can see the older tarnished white on the door. I am hoping the Origianl Paint will blend a little copared with the Rustoleum on the quarter. White z's and rattle cans! Bonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHeartTouge Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I recently found a whole white paint kit in my garage my old roommate left behind. Primer, paint, clear, everything. I might go ahead and paint mine white since all the materials ended up being free . Love this thread, and I second the sticky suggestion.

boyracer Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 A very bad cell phone photo, but here is my Z. Has Boyds aluminum rims from when I got it a few months back, trying to order some gold 17" Rota RB-Rs right now. Lowered a couple inches or so with ground control coilovers and Illuminas. I will put together a project thread soon as I redid all the suspension and have a lot more planned. Is it just me or is white maybe the best colour for these Zs? craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
