Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Painting parts body color as opposed to blacked out

Ish · 01-02-2010, 05:39 PM

I’ve seen how the blacked-out look has become popular, but I really want to go the other way, & have a near monochrome, solid red Z. I’d like to have all the silver trim & “Z” on the side marker light body color also, along with the door handles. First, what is the front grill between the fangs made of, & can it be painted to match the rest of the car? Would it be better to take it off the car & take it to a good paint shop? Thinking along those lines, would it be btter to take the door handles & side marker lights off at the same time?

Any thoughts, comments, pics would be appreciated.
