That's hot, have you thought of painting the back mostly white and leaving that portion Vince circled in carbon and then clearing the top portion?

 

Yeah, I've been thinking about this constantly but I want to be 100% sure before it goes to paint ...

I might have to do some PSing ...

 

Lets be honest, thats going to be what most people see anyway. The back of your car.

 

on second thought i like this idea more:


even if you paint it all white it would still look hot. car enthusiast would know it's not stock.

I was thinking about this paint scheme but leave the little "duckbill" portion carbon!

 

good call! I think I agree with Vince's 2nd option, but might like what Alvin is getting at for the symetry aspect keeping the lines of the roof, but deff paint the back portion white, but if you go Vince route #2 leave it carbon between the tails

 

Gaaaaaaaaaaaah, I hate you all .... sigh, I just can't make up my mind ...

 

Car goes to paint on Saturday Still not 100% of the plan ...

 

Update: dropped the car off at JMI, looks like we are going with a white trunk faded to carbon lip ... Excited !!!

 

cool beans! a friend on my flickr suggested this



pretty cool idea. leave the infiniti logo on the trunk and paint everything else white...

 

i always love this style. don't know how it's going to look with white though

 

I wonder what the trunk deck looks like, carbon or painted ?? It's a shame for sure that the trunk I have doesn't have more distinct lines to mask to ...

 

looks like it's painted. i like the subtleness of your trunk if i had the money i would get a do-luck trunk for my car and paint it

 

Yeah, I'm excited to see it painted, just hope the fade comes out nice, it's so hard to do on a white car !!

Then, get your camera ready, time for new photos

 

my friend still has my rig but i have plenty of duct tape

when are you getting the car back?

 

I told him not to rush so I'll get the car back in 2 weeks !!
