Thanks for looking!

Thanks, I think it's the only Z this colour, at least that I know of.

I first got the idea from seeing DOCCAM's Matte Silver wrap, which looked awesome, but his was a good bit ligher shade i think..

@ GaleForce thanks for fixing the pics for me - repped!

Looks sick man!

I was searching for GM colour for my Z last month then managed to find the New Aventadoor shade slightly darker then porsche one.

Cant wait to see the whole combo done

Nope it's actually a Porsche Colour.

It's very similar to the Nissan GTR Gun Metallic colour.

I had the two colours sample sprayed side by side and decided I prefered the Porsche slightly better so I went with it and the shop used a flattening agent in the Clear to make it look the way it does.

Does anyone have any opinions on if I should leave the hood exposed CF, or colour match it to the rest of the car?

I think paint to match, unless you can mask off an area and do partial paint/carbon and have it look good.

Are you happy with the body shop so far? Would you recommend them? I need a shop to take my car to.

Very pleased with the guy doing the work. He has his own shop in a barn behind his house where he has worked with his father for the last 30 years.

Price is very reasonable, he charges a flat $50/hour for whatever you want.

I've used him in the past to do my calipers, and door handles, his work is always top notch and he really knows what he's doing, he was also really patient with me, when I was very indecisive and didn't know what colour I wanted, and offered to spray me samples of each so I could make a better decision.

If you want his contact info fire me a PM...

Matted Carbon for the hood and wing would look awesome!

Got the car back yesterday, it looks awesome, I love the matte finish.

Sadly I've been working long days and it's dark out by the time i'm off work so haven't snapped any good pics..

I should have some nice pics up by this weekend, sorry for the delay, haven't been able to resist driving it before it get's the matte clear-bra, hope I don't get any chips in the paint before it's protected.
