They still need to pull the motor out to do the engine bay. It was a partly cloudy day but these pictures don't do it any justice, you have to see it in person. This is just the base paint, they haven't done the clearcoat and wet sanding yet. But its getting there.

 

Show and track use. The original paint from nissan sucked so I just went ahead and had it painted even if I was going to race it or show it. No its not a daily driver only a weekend car. I have to figure out my camera because its taking all the pictures very dark, hench the darker look. I'm not sure how many layers of paint they used.

 

another

 

I have a lot of work cut out for me when I get it back. Turbo, rear big brakes, seats, yada,yada, yada.
It never ends.

 

ya, but do we really ever want it to end?

youre cars looking good man! congrats!

 

A few words of advice, while the car is still at the body shop check if they can rig some sort of heat shield on your rear skirt. I have a v1 kit and my exhaust burnt my fresh paint. Hope this helps, hate to see that bad a$$ paint job get damaged....
Car looks wickid in that color, nice choice.

 

Thats funny you said that, because we were talking about that today. What did you do to fix yours?
And thanks for the kind words and the heads up

 

Why did they just base it and then take the car out of the paint booth? Why didn't they clear it after basing it? Is it for color match or are they taking the car somewhere else to clear it?

 

Its between phases. They pulled it out so I can get a good picture of it.

 

Once you basecoat something you only have 24 hours at the most to clear coat it, unless they plan on wetsanding it, then rebasing it, then clearcoating?? I understand they are going to wet sand the clear coat and then polish. Just curious. Looks really good by the way.

 

It was just painted early that morning. They know what they are doing. Thanks for the kind words.

 

I just found out the supra in the fast and furious is the same color.http://www.mirru.com/fastAndFuriousCode.html

 

I've been obsessed with that color ever since that movie! I think it would look great with some black wheels with a polished lip.

 

Is it still not done yet??

 

one more week.. sorry.
I can't wait too.

 

That color will look sick on a Z

 

That looks awesome.. wow!

Mind if I ask a ballpark of how much it cost? Better be a show car otherwise everytime you get a chip you'll scream "MY LAMBO PAINT!!!! AHH" Hah

 

$5000 and it will be a track car too. If it chips....oh well I cant help it, its gonna have chips no mater what, but thats how it goes

 

just keeping track, cant wait to see some pics......

 

ahh cant wait anymore
