z2go Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Since this is the Body Kits & Paint section, I figured I might as well show off my new paint job. The car went away in the middle of June, and just came back last Wednesday. Still a few final touches on the bumper and hood, but my guy wanted me to have the opportunity to start working on getting it back together. So, here it is. The pictures don't do the color justice, you have to see it to really appreciate it. He did a fantastic job, and the bill reflects this greatly . I helped along the way on a few fabrication parts, like the bumper and shaving the rear end, and the bumper work was by far the biggest pain. Anyone considering buying an MSA kit as a "bolt on" should know that if you want it done right, it might be cheaper to make your own custom bumper! I originally bought the whole kit, and sent back the skirts and rear bumper because they were so terribly warped. I'm glad I did, because I love the look I ended up with. The color is 2007 Chevy Corvette Atomic Orange Effect. The effect gives green, yellow, and gold impressions in sunlight that is amazing to look at. I can only imagine watching the car move in the sunlight, it will be amazing. He did six coats of color and three coats of clear, and was a perfectionist with the bodywork. It shows!

cockerstar Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Amazing! It's nice to see a Z in one of the two colors I've been going back and forth on! The work looks top-notch, to say the least. Very impressive You're making me consider shaving the rear bumper all over again, even though I finally decided not to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2go Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thanks guys! I think the shaved rear bumper is one of my favorite parts... I was really happy how it turned out, he spent a lot of time perfecting the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z2go Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 The thing is, the pictures hardly do the color justice. I wish I could capture the full affect on camera! I guess I'll just have to settle for bringing it out to as many Z events as I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll just have to settle for bringing it out to as many Z events as I can Wow. Beautiful color. Definately a good look. For a long time I wanted to paint my orange 73 a color similar to this (I was eyeballing HoK Tangelo Candy Orange). Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
