Just be sure the registration and insurance is updated when you paint it. Nothing major, just in case for random annoyances.

I so want mine a matte black. If you've done any powder coating, I want a "solar black" style finish on the pain and solar black wheels. It's basically a very sheen, almost metallic flat black. Wish I had pics of it. It's also the most expensive "flat black" as far as powder coating is concerned >.<

All-in-all, post pics when it's done so I can drool over it :D

Possible it could be mistaken for this bad boy if the light is right

HOLLY SH#$!!

That's it!!!!

Gloss Black wheels, that same flat black. blacked out headlights and door handles done too.

Wish me luck! After the car show tonight I'm pulling the car apart, going to do it in panels rather then a whole shot. Same way I did my 67 camaro, looks better that way

Good luck Moto! In for pics!

Luck not needed, this is an obvious win.

In for the win!!!!

It will looks awesome no doubt. But, I have to just put in a little word of caution. When I had custom paint done on my Corvette, I really wanted the flat black. The paint shop owner talked me out of it. If anything ever scratches it, you can't buff it out, as the paint will become glossy and it will show fingerprints and other little things really badly.

That said, go for it! I have been thinking about a flat black wrap for mine as well.

Do flat black vinyl instead.

i wouldnt do it just flat black your wheels and keep it silver. resale would be a b***h

I dont care about Resale...I'm paying this bad boy off pretty quick. Its a keeper!

Just came home to my new Red Radiator hoses, my new carbon door sills and some other box...not sure what it is yet.

I'm doing it.

So I know this is the Z forum but I just got back from the LA Auto Show preview, cool thing about the preview its catered, you can sit in the cars and all the drinks you can handle. Unfortunately this year, Ferrari and Lambo didnt show but there's some sick rides! If you don't mind I'm going to post the pictures in an album, wait till you see some of these bentleys, Custom cars etc... I took pictures of them all so I'll add them right now.

Here's the crazy thing. I run into my neighbor that I haven't seen for about 6 months. He said what do you think about that new SLS Benz with the Gull wing doors? I said its SICK...son of a gun bought one, they deliver it next year. I feel about 1" tall right now...HAHAH

So....check out my new album in a few minutes, I kept it ONLY cars, no pics of my ugly mug.

If I can't get my car back by Fontana I'll have to put the paint off for a week but it will be done soon!!

Thanks again!

Can't wait to see this.

In for the pics of WIN.

So good news and bad...

Good is I think we worked out a fair price. I'm an idiot though.. When I bought my Z from Covina Nissan they only had black and I made them trade another dealer for this silver one.

Now I'm going flat black I really should of bought the damn black one, that way this paint would of been MUCH less as I wouldnt have to worry about the jambs and such, that's where the $$ is. I'm infamous for pissing away money...oh well.

Bad news (other then being an idiot) is he can start Monday but I wont have it back for about 10 days. I'm really looking forward to the Fontana meet so I'm going to wait until that following Monday to get started.

Going to do the lights as well, I'm really on the fence about the LED's...really dont like the flash but they do make it look a bit different.

I really want to shave the handles, don't much care for the stock ones but I love the keyless function. Wonder if you could just put that button somewhere else. Anyone, powdercoated the stock handles, suppose I could do that.

Trying to get it all sorted now so the car is only out of commish for a little while. Any thoughts?

PS. Definitely gloss black wheels, black lights, a little more carbon and all else flat black..
