++UPDATES++ Semi-Gloss/Black Project Pics
Just a few teasers to start... I'm really happy with it, lowering it tonight more pics to come!!
Will be completed Friday....here are a few camera phone shots while it was still hot in the both.
It looks a little glossier while under the booth lights, but it isn't flat either. There are alot of little things I am going to be doing this weekend to set it off.
It will be lowered, just got tinted while in the booth, CF veilside side skirts, Shine Nismo V2 w cf lip.
could use some advice on the wheels, and Badges
I know there will be some haters for doing this, saying it looks rattle canned and unfinished. Thats why I went with the Semi though. If I get tired of it eventually I can always wet sand and re-clear it to full gloss.
I will update this with lots of high-res photos .

bronze lmgt4 -- I am thinking about powder coating them black, flat black, or a dark gunmetal grey. Maybe getting some Work sp1's flat black, in the near future. Worried if I powder coat my wheels now they will be hard to sell.

it should be mandatory that everyone who gets custom paint jobs spend $100-200 to buy a decent camera.
the paint job looks like it turned out pretty nice, can't wait for real shots. cell phone pics ftl.
bronze wheels match pretty good, since the bronze is also a semi gloss iirc.

if your going for a more stealth look (assuming you don't want to attract attention, which is why the flat), I would say powder coat the LMGT4's. That would look ninja as hell!

for anyone wondering or interested in the paint code its PPG flexnflat clear coat 91060 something like that.
Thanks for the positive comments, I have been nervous for the last month and a half, and have thought a few times about just sayin gloss it.
Glad you all inspiring to do the least expensive alternative and powder coat the wheels. I just don't like how the bronze meshes with the car so far, stands out too much imo.
would I be permitted to put that Rays sticker on their instead of the NISMO???
I like this finish on the wheels I may go for this color with the rays logo idk yet.
looks tight *** hell on this ^
One more day!
