frost white ftw, but.. if you want to paint it black i recommend super black of the 350z looks wet even when its dirty.

Decaf 06-07-2008 12:17 PM

i like the super black on the 350z, but im looking for that one thing to turn heads. doesn't have to be an extravagant decals, but something that an everyday car doesnt have, such as the two tone, black over white, or possibly the opposite.

You sound like a ricer.

Presto800 06-07-2008 03:30 PM

LOL@Your photoshop idea. That would look so bad I would seriously point and laugh seeing that thing drive by.

Whoever voted flat black needs to step out.

Frost white since it's the only decent choice you provided.

vicki 06-07-2008 09:48 PM

i think u need to fix ur car first, get some wheels, hood, taillights then go for a paint job

Re: (vicki)
 
Don't be a ricer, DON'T do flat black or "metallic". Thats a terrible idea. Also, if you care about the resale value of your car, consider repainting it the stock color unless you plan on ripping everything out of the interior and engine bay and painting that too!

Don't go to maaco either. A decent paint job should run you about $5,000, which is WAY more than the car is worth, so do yourself a favor and try and do some of the prep work yourself. Look through the body/paint forum and read up on how to do some prep and then use the money you saved to get a higher quality paint job done!

I suggest this only because it looks like your car is going to turn out looking like a ricer with the options you've provided (and the price-range you're willing to spend which I've drawn a conclusion from because of the "flat black" option lol)

I own a frost white DC2, its easy to keep up because you can't see swirls in the clear coat or little scratches too well if you happen to get any because the light reflects off of the white so efficiently.

So I vote.... FROST WHITE FTW!!! Or whatever your car's original color was!
