AussieV35: no need to photoshop a Lambo Yellow G, someone already has one on this forum - search it out, looks great!

Viral, do you think you could color match the front bumper on this sedan?...it's a new front bumper for the sedan and I'd like to see how I'd look all one color.

How about this color Randy? It looks kind of teal bluish to me. I know it's on a model car, but the color looks nice IMO. If anyone wants to know where I got the model from, Wal-mart for $20.

alotta nice colors on there... man, Viral got mad skillzzz!! props to ya

the question here is: how much is it to paint the whole car like some of those colors?
i heard the Z/G got really sh!tty paint job from nissan.. does repainting the car help at all? maybe like putting a thicker layer of paint on the car may help?

anyhow, how's the quality of these aftermarket paint jobs and how much are we looking for?

on a side note, the baby poop m3 color looks pretty good on pix, but in real person it looks like ...well......... "poop"
BMW does have the best blues tho.. HOOOT!!

go 2 tone, black on bottom and red on top separate with white strip, go 2 left rims red with crome lip ans 2 right rims black with crome lip...

Saw this once on a 300C, looked sick

Some might find this dumb but that just my taste..

A good paint job will run around $4-$5k. That means they remove all doors and cut-in everywhere so it appears to be the original color.

I've always thought the Brickyard Red (burgandy) 350Z color would be nice on the G. My '97 Mitsu. GSX was nearly the same color.

After seeing a pic in a mag of a G painted Brickyard Red, I've changed my mind. It just wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. The "Lambo" doors probably weren't helping matters.

I think you'll be very lucky to get it for $4-$5k. To do a proper color change, they also have to paint inside the engine compartment, trunk, etc. otherwise it will be pretty obvious that it was a repaint (although it will be obvious anyway if it's not a stock color). I think you're looking more likely at $7-9k.
