280Z28 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I actually took the car home in 2006 (IIRC), but these are the first pictures I took since. I still have a lot of work to do on the interior and cleaning up the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 bea-u-ti-ful! I love that color. Yes please, share the paint recipe with us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Z28 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 I believe it's a House of Kolor Galaxy Grey Metallic (Coarse). Originally I was going to have a faint green hue added to the first layers of clear, but we bailed on it since it'd be impossible to ever match. The airbrushing is done under the clear coats in various Kandy colors, and the clear is so thick you can't even feel the texture of the brushing. Unfortunately the paint has flaked up in a couple areas where there are sharp corners. :\ Aside from the paint, the side markers are removed, all the chrome is blacked out, and it has electric locks so I don't have to scratch the car with the key.

LoneStarS30Z Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 How're those tires working for you? I may need a pair for my new wheels but wondered how they handle on the streets under normal conditions. 16's also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveoen Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 looks really sharp i like the matching bumpers to the color i have a yellow z and i was thinking about it but i dont think it would look that great in yellow gray and black pull it off better any opinions or maybe pictures to reference?

For the power mine puts down, they haven't made much difference against other street tires. In general, the car feels very sloppy on handling, but my comparisons are a modded Trans Am and the fiancee's new G37. For a car on the street, the Yokohama Advan Sports do not disappoint but they smallest is a 17". The have an "S-Drive" as well that comes in smaller sizes common on the Z cars. I hear the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's are in the same league. looks really sharp i like the matching bumpers to the color i have a yellow z and i was thinking about it but i dont think it would look that great in yellow gray and black pull it off better any opinions or maybe pictures to reference? Blacking out the trim makes a big difference, as did removing the side markers. IMO, if you painted it yellow with black trim, the bumpers would look best in black.
