Thanks AK370z,

Those do look nice. :]
Keeping it simple for now.

it seems like they came out pretty good, you spray them in a flat black?

They came out fantastic!
The guy sprayed it flat black then did clear coat then resprayed it flat again for a semi-gloss.

oh you had a painter do them, thats why they came out so good

Haha yea. It wasn't bad. $125

Finish was pretty good. Keep it clean an simple.

Thanks! Next is the rear valance and the front fangs.
I'll attempt it today. If I mess up I'll take it to the paint guy hehe.

Why waste your time get it done right the first time.. My opinion.. Take it Stright to the painter. lol...

Well just did the fangs and valance. Came out great :)
need a little retouch with a small brush, but that's easy!
Overall saved myself about $400 :)

Not bad, I would recommend that you paint the center caps as well and purchase some black lugs.

Hey! Thanks a lot.
I thought about that, but that'll be too black. It will make the door handles stick out like crazy.
This balances it out at least hehe.

You could always paint the door handles black too. :tup:

I painted all the silver on my Z33 black so I'm biased. LOL

Oh haha, well a two tone car is nice.
You biased noob! :D Mwuahaha.

LOL, biased yes noob no.

Good front/rear painting.

Go Lakers!

Pics... Pics... pics...

The paint has a nice texture to it. It's not smooth.

Texture is good, I think it adds something different and makes the wheel look a little different them normal boring glossy black.

Thanks for the input Chris.
When can you hook me up with a free set of Volks?
