IMO, there were alot of things overlooked with this paint job. And the car is not "murdered out"

1. Should have filled the holes for the side moldings and left them off, the flat black needs to flow to work and the side moldings break up that flow.

2. All the chrome trim needed to be painted as well, would have given it a uniform look, once again, the chrome ruins the flow.

3. What is with the blue pin stripe?! even if you have blue lipped wheels, that still doesnt make sense.

4. WHY would you put gloss black wheels on a flat black car?!?!?!!?
-GP-

 

Loc...I think you are thinking of G35Octane (Jorge). He has a custom blue paint sedan with a Greddy front end too. He went to the Monterey and Pebble Beach run last year.

What rims are you going to go with? Can't wait to see the final look. Props

 

 

Exactly what I was saying, lol. But you did it in a more concise and organized manner. Then again, perhaps he wasn't going for a full on murdered out look?

Even after staring at it for a while, I still think the paint is too flat. So flat that it looks like primer. Matte black would have been the way to go, IMO.

 

I personally liked that blue colour on the before pics

 

well i see what your saying their is alot of options that i can do
as for now were just playing with the look just to see what goes good with what. i agree with the chrome it needs to be black and it will. and if the gloss black wheels dont look good my shop will paint them flat

 

Hahaha, Yes, Loc failed yet again...

rijen was at first Monterey drive in 06!
G35octan was at last Monterey drive in 07...

 

I didn't want to say it

 

 

Ouch.

 

its all good..
im not really paying attention to all these "fail" posts.
if they dont like it, its all good cant please everyone.
theirs always going to be people who disagree with what you do.
im just trying something that i havent seen before in the g35 scene.

 

Need to ditch all the chrome and murder the wheels to better pull off the look. It just looks out of place right now.

 

ya thats the guy.... Samsonnite.... I was totaly off

 

I won't judge now. I'll wait till he finishes it with the wheels and hopefully no chrome.

 

Hey that was me in the silver sedan haha, anyway.

Rijen its been a while since I bought that CF intake off of you. I wish you could have come to the SC meet sooner, I meant to ask you more stuff about your car. Did your shop ever get around to completing that supercharger?

I think the new paint job looks sick. Definitely a great new revamp of your ride. Can't wait to see the new rims. Why did you take the Greddy front bumper off? Are you looking to get the Kuruma?
