Driveway paint job (satin black)
Well I wanted my car to be satin black was sitting around with a couple buddies and decided we were going to paint it, in the driveway, lol... I know a lot of people are going to hate on it, if so keep your comments to yourself they don't do anyone any good. Everyone I know that sees it loves it and we all think it turned out great as well.

so the only thing is why did you wrap it? it sounds a lot easier and keeps your paint factory fresh....

I can definately see doing this to an old Z (like a Z31,32) etc. Pretty good and a cheap mod. But on a 370Z? Ouch.

and it doesn't really matter to me because I am not getting rid of it. Once things pick up for me again I am going to end up turning this one into a track car so the loss in value doesn't matter.

Meh, as long as you cant tell that it was painted in a driveway theres no reason to get hung up on people hating on the color. You chose it cuz you like it - all that matters.

I agree with both of these statements. Looks good... in distant pictures. Definitely have some balls repainting your $30k+ car in your driveway.
