don't add racing stripes either. keep the american muscle stuff on the american muscle cars, it looks out of place on a z

 

Go from a kick *** color to boring. Cause you feel it is to bright , bright is better than dull in you case, and most cases.

 

caaraa, did you come up with that all on your own? all of your posts are copies of other people that posted before you, BOT?

 

Why did you get it if it was too bright?

And Lemans Sunset is so 2004 and played out. Every car on the planet has a color similar to Lemans.

 

i thought it was grow on me, and i was awe-struck at first. but over a year not really. Also, i have always loved that burnt orange, so i do have a logging for that

 

I would not even think about changing that color to another one. Solar Orange is a nice color in my opinion.

 

You know what. I'm trying to picture it but, I think a 2-tone would look great with this color and with your current wheels. Carbon fiber hood, roof/pillars, mirrors and hatch. Leave the rest as is. Not sure how much it would all run but maybe in the ~$1500-$2000 area +/-. Cheaper than painting the whole car, and you don't have to worry about the quality of the paint you're getting.

It would also take away from too much of the bright orange, I think it would clash nicely.

 

well right now i have these pictures in my head, but i want it on paper (or on pc) so i can show it to the store. that way we are both on the same page as to what the result will be. Are there any car simulators out there that allow you to edit the look of the car? maybe some gran turismo/forza has this

 

I'm thinking along the lines of this:

 

Do not Mess with the OEM paint job unless it is already jacked and needs it!

 

My favorite solar orange Z:

holy **** that car was beautiful. you can tell he redid the bumper and side panels for this holes, as well as the lip, and he blacked out (repainted?) the top.

still, his orange looked different then mine

 

Entire repaint 4k+...
Entire vinyl wrap 2-4k
or
Have it wet sanded and cleaned professionally, then have a tinted clear coat sprayed on with questionable outcome.

It if were me, I would vinyl wrap it... any color you could want, good for a few years, cheaper then an entire repaint, and it saves the rare factory color underneath.

 

if you have any body shop experience, you know when wetsanding and reclearing previous paint, any chip or flaw will be more visable to the eye and would look bad. I would only do this if the car was brand new with 0 miles.

 

yep, i did repaint my car and doing it properly.

if you remember toby22 on here, he tried to cheap out and get his car painted for 2200. it came out so bad, he had to sell his car and get another car. He was going to pay another 4k to repaint the car correctly but at the end, he would of put in more than 6k and wish he did it right the first time. Just learn from people's mistakes.

 

OP you should definitely keep the original orange and just go for a wrap in maybe a color similar to the one you want. it'll be a lot cheaper, nicer looking, and always redo-able.

 

proof that solar orange= **** on wheels
Listen to these guys OP, if you decide you want to repaint, dont cheap out. Ill probably go to that shop next week and see if they can re-install my wing for me

 

i wish to god my orange looked like that orange. but it doesnt. that guy had to have done something different to make it that shade. trust me, mine does not look like that

 

My shop (a very good body shop) told me it would be $7000 for a color change paint job.

 

even if its too a similiar color? you would think that would be cheaper then going to a different one altogether
