hi all,

i've got a pearl white z. fitted a carbon fiber hood, cf hatch, cf a-pillars, cf roof overlay and cf ganador mirrors. Basically its fully cf on the top half with full white on the bottom half.

I'm need a change from the 2 tone scheme and was thinking of repainting the bottom half to another color.
Objective on color choice ---> to blend in with the cf top, so that the cf top kinda looks more subtle.

I was looking at different color schemes e.g. dark grey particularly. Ideally, someone wont be able to tell its got a cf top half without coming closer to the car.

Any recommendations? A color besides black would be preferable.

Thanks in advance!

Post up some pics of your Z for reference and you will get some responses.

 

ur not going to be able to achieve what u want unless you paint it black.

 

metallic gunmetal

 

Find an O'Reilly's that sells auto paint. They usually have color cards that you can look at, take outside, etc. See what matches up beside your CF.


Oh... I just noticed that you're in Singapore. So forget O'Reilly's... just find a paint supply store that has color cards.

 

Why don't you paint the cf stuff white and call it a day.

 

Because then the Singapore people wouldn't be able to see how baller he is, of course.


OP - This is subjective. Some will say this color, some will say that color, some will say leave it white/carbon, whatever. Point is your best best is to look at other setup's you've liked or colors you've liked and go that route. In the end, it only matters if you like it since it's your car and you're paying for it.

 

hi all,
thanks for the feedback. it looks kinda like this right now. but the yellow bits are white instead.

i'm gonna look for my camera now.

Thanks steve, gonna do just that. But if if somebody else has any ideas, it'll be worth considering. And singapore's pretty small. Not many good bodyshops around.

Thanks nexx! that's what i have in mind currently.

Definitely doc. Thanks

I'd rather not paint over the hood and all, farm. Thanks btw.

 

no paint better than OEM... paint your CF parts to PPW like your car...

 

Paint it diamond metallic black, matches cf perfectly..

 

Yup pics needed!! i would say keep it PPW but thats just me!!

 

wat color are ur wheels? paint ur cf parts white

 

defintly gunmetal.
I thought about this already and i think that its the only option for a carbon look.
Ive seen a civic with alot of carbon and a matching paint job and it looks amazing.

 

Here ya go, silverstone and call it a day or any shade of dark graphite will do but make sure it's not too dark or your car will blend in with the cf too much

 

How about a Gray Barra, the same color as the lambo reventon

 

 

sick Z! i love ur z! (:

 

brickyard looks good with carbon fiber
