To Paint or NOT to Paint?
To sum everything up from the so cal thread - https://g35driver.com/forums/southern-california/154226-my-g-back-shop-again-ahhhh.html
I have a 06 G35 Coupe running 325/25/20 PS2s in the back
The car was suppose to be sponsored by a shop that ended up fcking me over so I pulled it out.. car looks decent as long as you stay 6 ft away from it.. and NO WHERE CLOSE to my expectations..
So I'll need to repaint the exterior for SURE.. BUT.. the problem is I dont want to go back to the same thing.. If I have to pay out of pocket its going to look a little.. different.. What do you guys think.. should i go Daytona Blue but slightly.. darker.. I know G352NV2 HAD the daytona blue G and it looked AWSOME but I duno anyone else with it..
Body shop that took the job is M1Autobody in El Monte, CA.. so I know the work is going to get done and look perfect.. this is going to be a inside, outside, engine bay, trunk bay, EVERYTHING..
with that done Everything ELSE is going to be polished or powder coated Metallic Blue with Mid Gloss...
Car WILL have
Seibon TS Hood
Custom Front
Custom Sides
Modified Kenstyle Rear
What do you guys think? do it or keep it black and just add some blue metallic flakes in it

I've never been a silver or gray type of guy tho =\ doesnt do what I want to do justice
The CF trunk and CF hood and CF sides and CF bumper and CF splitters can be faded in and out of blue with transparent paint and pearls =P I think its going to offset AWSOME and I have black powder coated no gloss 20" custom DPEs already here waiting to be tucked under its huge quarter panels

Do it! The colors sound awesome.Please post pics after.I would like mine repainted also but it's that same old whine about money.I'm settling on having the the bottom painted the same as the car.I have an 04 with aero,premium.The car is black,but that year they did the bottom skirts in flat black.To get that done here in Ottawa,sanded,primed,painted $450.

I thought it over last night and how does this sound..
Because of all the time its going to take for the custom bumpers to be made I'm going to get it painted with a kit on first for NOW its going to have
TS Urathane Front
Stillen Sideskirts
Modified Kenstyle Rear
Seibon CF Trunk
Seibon CF TS Hood
The car is going to be painted somewhere between Nissan Daytona Blue to BMW Interlagos Blue (sp?)... Car currently has double limo tint in the back and 60% on the windshield.. I'll paint the roof GLOSS black (try my best to match the rear windshield & sunroof).. paint the CF trunk but leave the part where the trunk & windshield meets CF and have it fade to blue CF then to the rest of the car.. TS hood will have the vents left CF but FADED to the color of the car.. I'll have a CF splitter in the front to offset the CF on the car and the CF kenstyle rear in the back.. car will be on black 20" rims with a polished lip..
ya?

i love how it sounds. modded kenstyle rear like jay's ride? if so i was thinking about doing that to mine too, i actually photoshopped it, didnt looks right because my ride was more in a wilder class.
good luck eric if u need anything lemme know.
