Well being that I have been building show cars ever since I got a car I was deciding on what approach I should take. I've ordered all my body parts (carbon fiber hood, front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts and I am wondering should I just stop being lazy and install the parts and paint the whole car or should I just paint the parts, install them , wet sand and buff the car? Money isn't the problem but my car really does not need a paint job. Share your opinions.

 

go for it, im glad i did. See so many G's these days im glad i have the only G in my color.

its a show car...i would def paint it and like Mark350gt said there are so many Gs out there that a new color would be nice

 

i want my G your color

 

def do the whole car but dont skimp out on the engine bay

 

if money is not an isue they i would paint the whole thing in a custom color.

 

what do they do with all those hoses after they pull the engine out to paint the engine bay? I'm guessing they all have to come out too, but thats no fun!

 

haha i want my g marks color too...i hate the color of mine..getting sick already

 

They take masking tape and cover them up after cloging them with a glove. I've painted all of my cars over completely but this one really doesn't need it that's why I was debating.

 

If you are going to do it then do it all. If it's possible, strip the car down to the frame and paint it inside out.

But to me, any stock G35 colors are nice if the bodyshop guys do quality of work.

If I were you, I would paint only the body parts and detail original paint on the car and then spend extra money on Supercharger/TT and forged internal setup. So you would have both for show and go.

man up and do the entire car.........launga blue perhaps?

 

just remember that repainting ur car a brand new color will reduce the car's value by 30 - 50%. unless you find some kid with $$$$ who likes ur car exactly the way you mod it.

 

Me too,
