I checked dipyourcar. California is retarded.... Long story short, because the gallon paint is thinned out for you it's supposed to say some words on the gallon tub (forgot what it's supposed to say). Plasti-dip doesn't have that so california banned it from coming into the state. If I want to buy it I'm going to either have to ship it to a friend in Florida or Missouri and have them ship it back to me. There's 2 downsides to that tho; if it goes through customs and they see it they'll take it away and no money back and it'll cost another $200 to get all the gallons shipped.
So $400 for paint and $200 for shipping, might aswell pay a professional the $600 and he does it all.
But either way if I do it or if he does it, there will be a ton of pics

But I can't do black accents yet because I'm not sure where I want them. When it's completely white is when i'll have my fun

^That looks pretty beast. You're lucky you have a gray you can throw some black accents on it. On my black there isn't much I can do except for midnight it out, but my exhaust is too loud for that haha

Keep me updated i wanna see how yours turns out lol and for the headlights sand them down with 400 sand paper, then polish them. It's what I did to mine and they looked brand new, just need to repolish every once in a while
Plasti-dip is all matte colors, idk how you would try matching up the coating of the interior

there u will find many z owners plastidipping away. If your interior is that bad try and look for those parts in a junk yard or ebay

i did my door handles and it peeled off too easy, rings car keys and stuff like that will also scratch it. i did all my emblems and love it, and actually removed the 350Z one all together. what i did on my handles is rough em up with sand paper, used satin black paint and matte clear coat.... but i either didnt clear enough or the hot texas sun is killing them. i found a local shop that i am going to take them to in when it gets a little warmer that is going to paint them body color for $60

if u can pull it off that would be cool. Orange and black look nice!!! also the orange will get dirty less and might last longer. I say go for it. I saw an orange lambo with black wheels and it looked hot!!
