did you already consider and reject that?

Lol!! Fun visual.....

Yup. I don't like the base look.

I have to run the spacers until I can go back to stock studs.

Thank you for the thumbs-up.

I'm a huge fan of the "modded-but-still-looks-factory" look.

Wow! Thank you guys.

His colour scheme is really good, and I'm a fan of the red brakes and cross-drilled rotors

the dark wheels do look great on the 40th for sure.

Not lowered anymore.

My car is Gun Metallic (KAD).

My rims are 40th Anniversary Quartz (KAV).

Spacers will be removed when new stock studs installed on Saturday.

i think you can do 2 wheels with one 12.5oz can and one 12.5oz for the fang and valance.

maybe one extra can for the handles and any touchup you might want to do later. so, total 4 basecoat cans?

i would also get 3-4 cans for clearcoat and 3 cans for primer.

hummmm....

automotivetouchup.com is where Mr. Gurneyeagle pointed me when I was looking for my KAD. I assume that is also where he got his KAV for his wheels unless the shop that did the work got it.

Four cans sounds about right. I'll definitely need more clear coat and primer. I'll probably do this in the spring, but I think I've got my direction. Thank you, Mr. Kenchan

basically it's stock height and stock offset to-be

The paint is available from these guys:

2010 Nissan 370Z Touch Up Paint Colors

You have to search in model year 2010.

I would hold off painting the fangs and door handles KAV until you see the color in person. Personally, I think door handles should be body colored and the fangs black. Anything else reminds me of a mid-70's GM two tone atrocity.
