so i got into a little accident about a month and a half ago and it was the other persons fault. long story short i hit a strap some guy was using to tow another vehicle with. blue strap at night, stretched across 2 lanes didn't see it. hit it. well just got the check last week and because of the holidays the body shop is just getting started on it. the shop is a frend on mines so im going to paint the whole car with the money they gave me after all the repairs of course. matte white is my color or choice. im scared of how it might llook. but ive always loved matte white. cant do black because my best friend has a matte black g. rims ill worry about when she is done. so im gunna upload a few pics of the before and i will keep u guys posted. week maybe a week and half and she will be done. also opinions on the matte white color would be appreciated. just wanna hear everybodys 2 cents if possible. thanks guys.

these are from the night of the accident



these were from today, taking her apart, just getting started.

o wow. looks good. hope mines turns out as good as that.

 

Glad your ok and the work done to it looking good.

 

cant wait to see the results!

 

thanks for the concern. and ive seen these guys do a lot of work on other matte vehicles and other g35's so i trust them. plus its my buddies shop and i know he doesnt want to look bad.

 

Look through this thread for a lot of pics of a matte white G that a friend of mine owns. We took a road trip from Austin to Cali in Sept. for the sedan GTG and took lots of pics. There are even some GoPro vids towards the end of the thread.

Accidents are always a great thing when you're not at fault and you're not injured. Great opporitunity to get money for aftermarket parts. Im still waiting for someone to rear-end me to finish my kit :P

 

What about a matte white vinyl? I remember twalls did a photoshoot with a matte white genesis.

my brother in law just got a vinyl wrap, its matte black on a bmw alpina b7. looks sick. but not a fan of the vinal. use to be white car they dont cover the insides so when u open the door or hood or truck you still see the white. kind looks like a oreo if u ask me. and it starts to peal so forget that. i think paint will last longer.

 

haha i hear ya on that one.

 

say guys ive been thinking a lot. u think it would look cool if i painted the roof black. ive been trying to picture it in my head for hours. and if i did idk if i would go matte black or gloss black. gloss makes sense to me because it would blend with my rear windshield because its limo tinted. but matte would also makes sense because 2 matte colors would go good together i would think. any opinions? thanks guys
