The paint scheme looks great and the color is awesome. I'll bet it's even 10x better in sunlight. ...In for outdoor pics once it's finished.

Unfortunately IMO, even the best paint can't help that rear bumper though.

Car hasn't seen the sun yet since it has been sanded and buffed I can't wait not even the UV Gun we have does it any justice.

Make sure you paint all of the lips black and i think it'll look pretty darn good!

Whatever wheel you choose to go with this paint job is going to make or break this car.

+1 They are gonna have to either stay stock with the gunmetal Ray's. On the other hand i can see alot of volk combo's working on this car just fine... IE: black - polished gunmetal - polished black - black etc..

The rims are going to stay stock because I am really feelin' the style of them, They will be getting painted the nissan (KV3-Charcoal Grey MET) or the nissan (G10-Black MET) haven't decided yet but we will see when the time comes we are probably going to paint one one color and another the other color to see which looks better.

Yeah, my Z has so many rock chips that it's starting to look like one of those "before" pictures on the Proactive commercials.

That nogaro red is nice, why spend 6500-10k on paint????? Serious rice move when there is nothing wrong with your paintjob, 10k would get u well on the way to a finished 500+whp turbo build.

The Nogaro Red is nice in your opinion and a turbo is not a very high priority of mine
