GodZilla Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 So my car is going to be road ready towards end of June. I was wondering if any of you had any input on the paint department. The car will remain white but I wouldn't mind some black in there. I'm 100% getting the flares in carbon fiber. I was going to go with Nissan QAB paint code but have now decided to stick with the Nissan N1 Racing paint. I'm not good in photoshop so I did my own version of it. Below are the choices. So far, I'm thinking option #1 but would like to hear from actual Z owners. Pictures below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 All white with the ZG's all the way. I personally think it looks cleaner like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) I like the totally black hood with black fender flares and rear spoiler, IMO I think painting the hood bump is kinda cheezy because you can't get a good clean line because its more smooth then straight and clean. Edit: The hood would look nice carbon fiber and the flares painted black. Here is a car that looks like what your talking about this is Slammed68's car.

xonix_digital Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) I agree with 2+2. The hood needs to all be the same color. Painting the hood bump a different color is a romantic thought, but in real life it looks like dookie 95% of the time. If I had a white Z. She would certainly be CF up front with black ZGs and black BRE rear spoiler with a white MSA Type-1 up front paint matched... yeah much like that picture lol. Minus the rotas.

T-Bone028 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 All white. ZG flares in black, fiberglass 240 bumpers in black, rear spoiler in black. Fender mirrors in black if desired. You can always repaint your spoiler and flares in white if you feel the need to later down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delasangre4231 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Do an all black hood and roof and hatch but run twin 2.5 inch wide racing stripes over the driver seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icapture Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I say do whatever you think is best, you can always switch it up if you choose to. Yea painting the hood black, with black flares, and a black spoiler would be the safe modification, but its also the most common thing out there. If your looking for classic then I say option 2, but if you want the car to be personal and unique, then do whatever you think looks best.

GodZilla Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) I don't know how to go about painting the spoiler black since it's molded into the body and smooths right in. There is no pre-defined lines where the cutoff would be; if that makes sense. Look below to see what I'm talking about. If you guys have any input on how to paint it black without making it look awkward, let me know. With the picture posted above, the spoiler is a separate piece which makes it easier.

Nelsonian Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 All white with the ZG's all the way.

zxtoy Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I like the all black hood with the white top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Oh, I didn't realize you had a three piece spoiler. In that case I would just leave it white the MSA spoilers look nice in black since they are defined from the body. I would say black hood and ZG flares and leave the spoiler white? but idk how that would look. I'm sure you could find a photoshop guru on here that would help you out by doing some stuff with a photo of your car. Never hurts to try it out first then actually do it and not like it.
