I'm new to the forums, I got an '08 350Z Nismo a few months ago #1397 Black, and I was wondering if its seen as sacrilegious to paint a Nismo any color other than the 4 (maybe more but I've only seen red, black, white, and silver) they naturally come in. I was hoping for a few opinions on the matter, thx in advance, PEACE!

 

What matters is what YOU like.. Its your car.. If you want it a different color go for it..

 

What color do you want to paint it? I personally would spend my cash on coilovers/turbo, etc.

 

As long as you don't plan on saving it as a future "classic" then go ahead and paint away! Just don't put flames or stripes on it!!!

 

You can only paint a NISMO with NISMO paint. Its so fast that regular paint will come off at high speeds.

Its your car, I say do what you want........ But atleast spend some $$$ and do it right, door jams, underside of hatch etc. nothing worse than seeing a different color (esp on a really nice ride) on the outside, and a mismatch when you open the door.......What color were you thinking??

 

thought about flat black?...

 

thought about going flat black...

 

juss do it right

 

I say wait till you have so much dings and scratches that you cant stand it anymore.
then paint it.

 

also true...

 

good idea.

flat black

 

Don't do it!! This is a special edition car..and if you ever need to sell it you will be hard pressed to get a decent about for it once your alter the paint.
If kept long enough these could be collectible one day! Keep that in mind.

Just my opinion..

I think the flat black would look nice.

 

well if thats the case would that actually require a "repaint" or just a ton of sanding the clear coat off..lol..and spraying a flat coat..?


I dont know I still would not touch the paint..keep it orig. or find a Nismo in the color u want and trade for it..

No Alsa Paint Co. makes a soft touch clear. It feels like the INCIPIO iPHONE covers and it is a clear coat put which ever color you want as the base coat and then spray that clear, gives it that flat look and a crazy feel.
