Lol...I guess using both would be a much better solution . I like this "350z" logo, especially the "Z"....I think it makes it look much more interesting than red alone. Thanks for the visual, Chicken.


I have heard you can use nail polish to paint the rotors, I think it may be more heat resistant. I am not 100% sure what to use for the base or primer coat though... in any case, it will be a more durable and shiny finish with a lot of color options if you decide to go this way. I would probably google a bit to see if there are any how-to's about this floating around.

haha...I'd never though of this; I guess it would be useful for painting the logos, as the brush is small and they come in many colors. And for those wanting the gold color, I think nail polish is a much better/shinier gold(?). Just please don't use the sparkling hot pink on the brakes, as the pimp factor is way too high for the Z.....

So if you want to paint and worry about fading go with the G2 paint.
Too bad my loco Pepboys didn't have this G2 paint, but yeah, I think high-quality paint like this is def. a must. Don't use those laytext paint from Home Depot....lol. Use the paint that are high-temp or designed for brakes. I saw a brake paint kit that comes with a brush, cleaning fluid, and some other stuff at Walmart for about $12; they had it in red and yellow....just some info for those looking for paint.

Not sure where to get the stickers. As for colors with a black car, I think red, silver, gold, even blue will look good. Black goes well with a lot of colors, accepts maybe sparking hot pink . SantacruzSlick was about to do that to his brakes j/k.
