Default bored of silverstone

hi guys. need some advice. i have gotten bored with silverstone. in the sun it looks fine, but it looks very dull when its cloudy. i was thinkin of wheels. if i go with black wheels the car loooks too dark and dull. i am gonna go with pikes peak white.i think white looks the best as well as i rarely see z's where i am but even more rarely see white. anyone know any good place in canada, BC. and what r some of the more negative aspects of getting the car painted? thanks

if you are going to getta paint job, why not pick a non-stock z color?
i know you don't see many ppw z's near you, but if it were me I go with a non-stock color.

$$$$$

A proper, high-quality paint job (all glass, moldings, handles, etc. removed) is serious money. But of course, that only matters if you have a small budget.

I think the SS looks freaking awesome at night! Well I know mines does and I have gotten numerous compliments. Plus it's a color that doesn't show dirt to well either, I think that is a pro if you ask me.

i cannot seem to make the ss stick out. it is dull. it looks good at night, but what about on a dark cloudy rainy day. its just grey. pikes peak white is crazy. i saw one a while back, and it looked so wide from the front. white looks wider. damn, ok so how much is an estimate?

Have you Zaino'd your Silverstone? Spend 100 dollars and a couple weekends and Zaino the hell out of you silverstone, it will bring it to life!!! If your Z is a daily driver, then silverstone is the way to go, hides the dirt the best!!! After about 8 coats of Zaino, your paint will look wet all the time and have a deep gloss!
