Default Painting My Z Glacier Frost Mica

So ive decided to paint my z. Ive always see polls or hear people talking about painting it glacier frost mica but i haven't seen it done (im sure someones done it though). Well now that that ive gathered up the resources ive decided to go with the ings kit and get 'er done. here are the pics so far of the z. If anyone is interested Platinum auto body in the city of Cudahy will hook you up. they have been very helpful not only because they are my buds but because they are professionals. if you use me as a reference they will for sure hook you up so let me know if anyone is interested. Ill keep adding pics until its done in about 2 weeks (ill be getting it color sanded).

If you want work done make sure to let me know so i can give them a call ahead of time.

it just all depends if its a change of color for example from black to white then its different than from one shade of white to another. Im also putting in some work so pricing is a bit different for me.

i just dont want to give out any price range since im not an estimator or work for them, (hope you understand) but if our interested in any work i can take you to meet up the guys and see what they can do.

What color was your Z before? I assume they removed everything because it was a whole other color?

You need to bring the car to the Cerritos Meet when it's all done and invite your Z32 friends again!

a good paint job starts at around $2500. Body and paint is one area that you do not want to go cheap on...
