Im gonna paint the bottom plastics of the car the same as the car and i was thinking of painting the rims the same as well.

Everything sounds good, but the wheels. Don't paint them too match.

As far as images go you can you the insert image tool, it's the mountain looking tool in the reply box.

Get a darker shade of blue. The Daytona blue from the 350Z looks nice.

Since you're painting the entire car have you thought about a non-Infiniti color?

yeah definietly go with something non OEM. I agree with the previous poster, don't paint rims same color, rims should match but also provide some contrast.

Keep the same color for the lowers and getting the engine bay, jams and trunk resprayed costs a ton extra.

^ Top would look good but to the average person I honestly think they would laugh behind your back because our cars do not come with dual roofs. I know I may be in the minority on this but I think it will be a passing fad.

I would consider a non-oem color that is just a bit off so you could still keep the jams, etc the same color.

Don't do the wheels.

Listen the sickest outcome would have to be the black top and paint the whole car audi s4 sprint blue that would look redicilous!!!!!! and leave the rims alone

Maybe this is too late,changing color and a two tone will knock the **** out of your resale value. Why not repair the damaged areas and address the rest of your car by the the recon. tips listed above? You'll save all the way around!
