If I remember correctly Rubicant's paint had some blue pearl in the clear and can be seen in the sun. Pics taken from his thread.

happy to see you went through with the telesto gray.
i do agree to paint the hood with some detailing taped off to show a little cf on there.
look forward to see the end result. sub'd

Quick teaser pic of the finished paintjob, lighting in "the orleans" casino parking garage was lacking . New Wheels and Coilovers will be on in about a month (Sold the nismo Lmgt4s, so rolling on stockers/herrasunk status for now til then)

Some subtle things will still need to be done, as the hood will be painted as well. Then a proper photo shoot will be taken. thanks all

Wheels will make or break that paint job, also, those headlights are a sore thumb too, but I really like the color, I wanted to paint my 240sx battleship grey. I can't wait to see the FINAL product

Masked side emblems.

Car looks good so far, the color is a little too flat for my liking.

agreed, wheels type and color were chosen compliment the paint, as for the headlight upgrade to 06+ headlights are the list for upcoming mods.

I know alot of people don't like the look of the jdm clear tails on my350z I;ve always liked them regardless. I'll see when my is set-up done if I want to switch to 06+tails or smoking the tails or not.
