I was going to do flat white, then gloss black, then went with flat black... Its It's easily changed and will probably just get covered up soon anyways.

But, but, yer adding weight to the car, Mister I-Removed-Another-Gram-Today!! 😜
Jacked the back end up, remove the o/s rear caliper and disc, and cleaned out that POS E-brake that was full of crap and was sticking slightly, gave everything (except the pads) a liberal coat of grease and put it all back together and then started on the N/S just for good measure.
Had to jump start my Z yesterday. Not sure why the battery was completely drained. I have the Optima red top, and I left the Z in my garage for about 3 weeks when I went out of town. I hope it's not a bad battery (again) or the alternator. The gauge shows 14V when the car is running.

I have heard once those optima batteries get completely drained like that they never full recover, im not sure how true that is, just what ive heard.
Something most deff drained it, or you had a bad connection if it was completely dead.
If you have a multimeter with an amp clamp you can see how many amps are running through the ground cable with the car off, should be .08 or less, otherwise you have a drain on the battery.
I see carbon fiber wrap in your future, unless it looks better in person.
Naw it looks like sht in person.
My neighbors buddy owns a classic restoration and paint shop. I'm going to have him respray the whole front end to match. I just bought 2 rattle cans to color match and prime. It's ganna get resprayed properly later.
Well at least I didn't burst your bubble thinking it looked great, did you use the right color paint?
I'm probably going to paint my hood next spring, I got a qt of super black a few months ago but my ghetto garage is taken down so I don't have a paint booth.
My roof is actually high heat gloss black from crustolium, I found it somewhat matches better then others gloss black... Deff doesnt shine like the rest of the car though.
No I just got what ever gloss black primer base rattle can my Home Depot had. Which was like one color option that would work for my auto application. The rest were home paints.
But my thinking was just paint it black to get all the people who keep asking why I "drive this bucket" cause of the blue hood. I didn't care but i got tired of hearing from my co workers every day when I'm going to paint the hood black.
I almost bought grey to do carbon checkers for shts n gigs but was too lazy

I had really bad luck with Optimas in my Z....had the yellow top and it would completely drain in 7 days if I didn't drive it. Couldn't find any kind of parasitic loss either....after replacing 2 of them and having same problem I gave up and went to Duralast like I have in all my other cars...no problems at all since then.
I've had a draining issue on my car since I got it. Since it's not driven daily. Once Nissan told me it was the stock headunit draining I swapped to a Alpine and have not had a problem to recently
Now it can sit for two weeks, but I drive it finally and then when I go to start it after driving it...dead
