^ I'm all about cleanliness.... got a huge bottle of Purell hand sanitizer in my car, Imma germaphobe....
But on the real, once again thanks to all the guys who supported me throughout 10 pages of this thread, I hope you enjoy the pictures and thanks for all the compliments, because of the support I know I did something proper and repped the VQ community well.
I've even had quite a few people messaging me wanting specific info on the paint so they can paint their cars the same color, so far already I've helped a guy do his Supra this color, an Evo, and actually some 350z guys on this forum should be doing it too I asked them to post pics when they get done so look out for those dudes.

yea Chris is real cool, he hung out with us the whole day at the meet taking lots of pictures, and damn hes good at that as you can tell by the gangster rolling shots he pulled off.
he took the two rolling shots on the bottom with his watermark, and another photographer took the other still shots a short while after the meet.
in any case glad you guys like it, but I cant wait to complete the car, I was pretty hasty to post photos and I originally wanted to post the complete project with the new wheels and new body kit. I just stored it for the winter, hopefully next few months will breeze by cuz I got some work to put in since I wanna complete the project right around the time summer starts so next summer the car is ready for the rest of the sunny season. I got the rest of the kit and coilovers to go on, and the biggest deal is the wheels and proper stance, but I'm pretty excited to finally get around to finishing modding the car and enjoying the final product.

wanted to go satin white on my z as my race civic is satin black. couldn't find anyone that i felt confident enough to execute it so went with a gloss ibis white.
my next car might have to go satin white though.
props for sticking with it.
IMO - nothing wrong with the headlights, spoiler or interior either

thanks guys, yea it looks nice but it's extremely hard to clean, the dirt and grime just really get in the pores of the paint because of the way the clear coat is.
Don't know if you can tell in the pictures but the front bumper is a different shade of white with a hint of blue as opposed to the rest of the car that's white with a hint of black. I would like to repaint the car again the color of the bumper and add more clearcoat this time, the way the paint is right now it looks nice but I don't think it will last more than a year or so.

thanks, yea I'm actually respraying a coat of clear on the roof to make it gloss black to match all the windows and sunroof, right now with all the gloss around it looks out of place.. I originally was leaning towards gloss black roof because of that reason but I was too late on letting my paint guy know.
and nah the paint will last I was just exaggerating, I do take good care of it since it's more susceptible to damage than regular paint is, but I knew that prior I knew it would take a lot of work to take care of it, but I didn't expect it to be as hard as it is.
there's been guys who've messaged me wanting to do this same paint and got totally discouraged after I've explained in detail how hard it is to keep clean and undamaged
