So the car's in storage for the winter, and I'm getting that itch to do something to it.

I want to black them out, but I'm unsure whether to go with flat or satin black or gloss black. If people have done this, can you please post pictures? I'd like to see side-by-side, how different they appear.

Also, give me suggestions on flat or gloss.

I'm leaning towards flat or satin.

Keep in mind, if my wheel deal doesn't go through, I'll be painting my current LMGT4's a gloss black.

And yes, the car will be lowered. Coming this spring.






Here is le Z.. (same picture as always)

 

flat black would look awesome on your car.

 

flat black....

 

Gloss would look better for you b/c of the Nismo kit being half gloss black.

 

Thanks for the pics!


I think so too.







I dunno, from other threads with people painting their headlights a satin black, the outer lens gives it the "shiny" look.

 

+1.

 

So FLAT or SATIN?

 

stock, goes well with your rims

 

Flat.

 

If you go the flat...just an FYI (the paint I used was VHT high temp flat black)

 

I would paint them gloss to go with your V2 and maybe your door handles too

 

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the opinions!

I am either trading (possibly selling) or painting my wheels black. The wheels will be black.


I've contepmplated doing the door handles in a gloss or satin black once I get the wheels and headlights painted, but that's still up in the air.

 

Got another question... should I keep the clear plastic on the blinker area, or should I scrap that??

 

keep it

 

You sure? Why keep it?

 

looks like your Z is squinting.. or asian .. lol

 

gloss to match your kit

 

I need pics people!!
Thanks for the advice! Keep it coming.

 

I was thinking the same, lol

 

none of the above...paint it to color match the car!
