Default Lamborghini Satin White G coupe shoot

Finally finished a proper photo shoot!! thanks to all the people who've been patient and with me from the beginning here https://my350z.com/forum/g35-g37/417...tin-white.html I promised you guys a proper shoot, and I think this delivers.

I always knew I would have a very hard time really capturing the satin silky smooth finish and color of the car, but I think these photos finally do the paint justice. Thanks again guys for being so supportive, and the car is in OEM mode right now, I still have to put coilovers on and slam it, plus I have a set of wheels in the works right now that will blow these out the water




















and here's the two rolling shots taken last week

thanks, I know I don't have a lot of mods in the exterior department cept the Inven bumper and Data Systems spoiler, reason for that is my modding preference is about subtlety and cleanliness with minimal exterior changes trying to retain the OEM beauty. But at the same time give the car a dose of aftermarket just enough so people don't mistake it for stock.

new wheels and coils going on next summer, and either impul or 06 sport sides and I'm done spending money on the car, gonna save up for something better.

shoulda went with impul sides and rear before painting the whole car. impul "retains the OEM beauty", imo.

besides that, i love the color!

Marques thanks man, you had my back with nothing but positive comments in my other thread

HXS, yea I had widebody plans that replaced all the pieces so I never got around to ordering the Impul or Chargespeed rear that I like, my plan was to have my body shop modify the Inven to fit with the rest of the APR kit. But now I'm pretty certain I'm gonna go with the Impul skirts, but most likely I'm gonna keep the rear stock, with the Chargespeed as clean as it is, it makes the already bulky stock rear a bit too fat back there


Motor yea I had the Nismo but switched to Inven, wanted to be the first in Canada with it. As for the wheels, brand name isnt there i know, but 5 spoke design u can't go wrong with. My next set for next summer will not disappoint anyone, mark my words heh

I remember a lot of people giving crap for the paint when you first posted. This photoshoot finally do this car some justice Looks really sick! I think new wheels will also help set off the color!

yea i knew I'd get crap for posting shitty pics in the beginning, but i'm not a guy who posts teaser threads so i thought id post anyway to let people know what i'm up too...

and those last two rolling shots look just flat white I know, but the actual shoot pics you can tell the actual color it really shows, maybe try adjusting your monitor a little, I know on my upstairs PC the colors are all out of whack too. I had to adjust them.

Is there any pearl or metallic in this paint?? Not really a fan of satin finishes unless its on a classic american car. Would like to see it in person though. Pretty clean pics.

there is pearl in the paint, and when I say satin it means semi gloss, so it's not matte like the flat colors you see on hot rods or some of these flat black exotics. It's a split between matte and gloss, right in between. Which is exactly what I wanted to differentiate from the matte/flat trend happening at the moment.

I didnt take any close up pics of the pearls though, sorry..


the car used to be silver before, I painted everything including the door jams, and trunk area, molded the spoiler but I left the engine bay untouched, didn't wanna waste money on pulling the engine.
