Painting the Front Fangs
 

Hi all,
I was thinking about painting the front fangs to my Z. I have a 09 Monterey Blue Z and I am blacking/carbonfiber'n the outside. Wheels, Fangs, Diffuser, Mirrors, spoiler, antenna etc.

As for blacking out: What kind of paint should I be looking at for quality and shine (gloss). So not a satin or matte
Any specific recommendations from past experiences?
:tiphat:

i had great luck with duplicolor engine enamel paint on the front of the car (no joke).

i used a low-gloss black on a fog lamp bezel on my dd, went through 3-4yrs of hard snow/salt winter and came out with very minimal chips.

you can clearcoat over the finish to get u the gloss you want. might even recommend UV clearcoat.

i recommend doing it in 2 steps (base coat + clear coat) so that you can add more clear over the black and wetsand/polish it real nice and flat (shiny) after it dries. GL

Thanks for the info Kenchan!
Funny part is I believe I actually already have a can the low-gloss engine enamel paint, I use it to repair little pieces of rim rash. It is the one that is heat resistive up to 500F

Cool I don't even have to get any paint at that point. Can just go tear up some trash bags and newspaper and get to work lol

had my fangs and my rear valence wrapped in carbon fiber, looks great but not cheap.

I have cf rear valence that im going to be installing soon :tup:

but im sure that a cf fang and rear valence combo looks sick
