like others said..colors need to match...funny how the high beam reflectors werent painted but he painted the reflectors for the lowbeam (which are also needed for the light to spread)
Good work but I don't really like it...doesn't look to match ppw too well

...and for the cost of that much PPW white paint and the pain it would take to do three coats (I think some of yall should learn how hard it is to paint pearlescent paints) it wasnt worth it when the plastic paint i used took me far less time and pain. This is my daily driver so i cant afford to have the car out of action for several days on paint when the plastic paint took me only 30 minutes.
I think they look nice MYSPIVEY! I've thought about doing this to my PPW as well. The paint is $$$$...the paint is 3 stage and costs approximately as follows (price per pint):
Base = $45
2 stage = $45
Pearl clear = $55
I inquired about the paint myself from English Color Automotive Paint & Collision Supply. It just takes extreme patience to do it with 3 stage paint...I'm gonna try it eventually.
*EDIT: Pictures taken down since im getting tired of the my350z crowd. When they learn to grow up or at least act like decent people ill put em back up. If you want to see em let me know!!*
Sound like he doesn't handle criticism very well...
