Finally got mine painted and got around to taking pics..

nice bro!!!!

are all of you clearing yours? I had mine painted and it has chipped like crazy in a matter of a month...

it was done by my shop using "trim black" paint... same as my rear valence that has been on for a year, but obv not taking sand/debris at it at all being in the rear.

i cleared mine... but rocks tore apart the clear also... it held up pretty good for a year.... :D

I am getting my front bumper replaced and the fangs will not be painted. I will post photos when it is done. Thanks for the pictures guys.

im not going to re paint the bumper back to stock I think, the chips are very annoying..

not sure if I will get it black than cleared over or stock color for sure yet, but be weary of chips if its a daily driven car

heres mine

Any solutions to the rock chips guys?

repaint again lol

Would you recommend doing this with flat/matte black instead of satin black? I'm not sure how shiny it gets but I definitely do not want it to be glossy

oh, and what grit do you recommend for sanding?

I feel flat/matte would be the best. Thay's what I'm going to do. I've already bought the paint. Just need to find the time. I feel this will look great next to my GM on my ride. I like the dull look.

I agree.. especially since my wheels are matte black and my vinyl is duller than the di-noc cf

Black out Fangs
 

This is how it turned out.

Damn that the first thing Ill do when I get my Z. Nice write up, actually nice write-ups. Thanks for all the DIY your postin. Gonna do the housing and rear fog light too.

+1 looks great im just worried about getting a good line on the edges

did u paint the headlight housing? if so how did u do tht?

nvm i just saw ur diy

hey did you sand and primer the fang?? or did you just spray painted over oem coating? how is durability?

Doing my 40th this weekend and throwing these sides on EVO-R INC. Nissan 370Z Z34 Side Skirts Diffuser , post pics after!

Mayn I need mine repainted rocks eat that paint quick I got white spots everywhere

Waiting on the sides to pull it all together. Take your time and the project will go smooooth! Painted the scooter, droped it, removed windsheild and fliped the handlebars while we did the Z....gangster!

Did my fangs and rear valance this weekend using Plasti-Dip. I can peel it off whenever, if ever I get tired of it:)

looks real good. Completely changes the look of the car.

Thanks!
 

Nice DIY again, here is my result...

if you guys know anyone with this kinda setup who also has blacked out emblems please reply lol... I'm debating, I would like to see it before I do it... Google didn't show up any good results.

Thinking of doing this next month, after the damage from the rock chips is it easy to take off and re do it?

I did this and the blacked out emblems, I dont have my headlights or roof done though. Pics are attached. Sorry, theyre small.

looks great man!!!! ^^^^

Thanks. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but seeing as how I have never picked up a can of spray paint before, it wasn't as bad as I expected. I'll definitely touch it up at some point, but for now it's okay.

This is will be my first mod when I get my 370, has anyone tried plasti-dip? It is not actually paint and can be peeled off if you screw up. I did the door handles on my 350 with the dip and it has held up darn good, I am thinking it might hold up to the stones/debris since it is rubberized and it is naturally flat in color..Just food for thought! i will be doing the 370 handles as well with the dip.

door handles are sprayed with the dip.

if I had a 370, I'd definately do this to my car, in Vinyl ofcourse ;).

B@t™

i ve always liked blacked out fangs

anyone ever thought about doing this with vinyl?

After contemplating I decided to do mine as well.
I think the rear will look nice once I get a rear fog.

i def 2nd the plasti-dip!!! iv used it for other things and they have come out well including front bumper lips

That is a great idea, but I was thinking about using 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl from Carbon Fiber Gear.

Black out fangs question
 

Hey forum,

I have successfully used plastidip on my wheels and door handles. After spending a couple hours taping off my fangs for prep and plastidipping them, I screwed up on pulling the tape in that bitching corner area where the corner of the fang meets the bumper! Anyway, had to pull all the plastidip pff and will give it another go today.

Does anyone have any technique on how not to screw this up? Any input will be gladly appreciated...

Put some release agent* on the tape.


* Polyvinyl alcohol usually works well and is easy to find (hard contact lens wetting solution).
