Blacked out rear valence - Red 370Z
 

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some pictures of my Z with the rear valence blacked out. I ended up going with paint vs vinyl... as I had some issues trying to get a vinyl wrap to look good. I'm very meticulous about things like this, so the paint definately came out better in the end. The paint that I used is awesome too because it looks and feels like OEM plastic trim... looks factory in person. :) Let me know what you guys think.

looks nice... im too scared too mess up the job to do this! lmao

is it hard to keep clean when its flat black like that?

Thanks! It wasnt that bad at all really. I was very hesitant of doing it at first for similar reasons too, but it just takes time & patience.

Not really sure. I havent had it blacked out very long, plus my Z isnt my daily driver. But I wouldn't imagine it being an issue. I dont see any dirt or dust clinging to it as of yet. Seems fine so far.

Looks good!

wanna get my fangs done too but afraid every little rock will tear that paint up

Good start!

Now go get the fujimura rear CF diffuser! :D ;)

GJ!

Looks Great Red, :hello:

Were did you purchase that brand of paint?

Nice!

Yeah, I hear ya. I'm not sure how this paint will hold up tho. I dont plan on doing the fangs.

Thanks man

Haha. I may do that later on tho. I want to pick up the new EVO-R CF lip when it finally comes out... so that in combination with the CF diffuser would look sick. We'll see.

I got the paint at Sherwan Williams. But you have to go to their automotive store, not the regular paint store.

Looks real good. You might think about getting some flat clearcoat to help the life of the paint.

Looking good! Looks OEM

good job

did you sand down a bit first before you sprayed?
