Painting ideas
 

I have a black Z and I was going to paint the accents and the brake calipers blue what does everybody think? I've been trying to find a picture of a Z with what I wanna do but can't seem to find any to get some ideas. :icon14:

Do you have stock or aftermarket wheels? If aftermarket, what color?

My own personal opinion is that black cars look best with yellow/gold calipers. You can head to the photoshop section to see if someone can give you a quick photo edit of what different colors would look like.

My car is completely stock I have the 2011 base model. I'm gonna paint everything but the calipers with plasti dip so if it doesn't look good I can just peel it off

Red or yellow, gold r the best

Unless you want Plasti-Dip melting onto your pads and rotors, you may not have a chance to peel it off :icon14:. You need high temperature paint.

Plasti Dip Calipers? :facepalm:
Get you some aftermarket or Sport Calipers... I have a base as well and I went with the Sport Caliper kit from Z1... Its a night and day diffrence. Or if your on a budget just use some high temp paint. The Plasti Dip wont hold up and you will
1) kill yourself or someone
2) it will most def melt and become a sticky mess
3) it will look like dog shi*

How about neon green for your calipers. It blends well with black.
Like this one but this is in a blue Z.

This is one my favorite Z owned by one of our forum member.

He said everything BUT the calipers will be plastidipped.

Agree with the gold also red is good too imo. Red is "normal" but still think it looks great. Also a gloss black with white nissan letters.

i would keep the stock base calipers stock... or just paint it gunmetal or something dark to hide it, not show it off.
like a skinny dood wearing tank-tops. dont.

I didn't mean I was going to paint the calipers with plasti dip I was gonna do blue high temp paint. I was gonna do blue because u hardly see that color scheme on cars ( I've never seen it) and a couple of people I know have black with red

Well I finished painting the car today, rims, emblems, turn signals and did some stripes
