The matte looks different/interesting so for what it's worth fair enough. If it came out with no bubbles or debris imprinted in the drying paint good on you for that.

But honestly, the spray painting isn't my it's the taillights...
What is wrong with the smoked taillights?

I have to wash it for a long time to get it clean then its like it never happened (what ended up happening)? What is the big deal? I can say I did it and I wasn't disappointed with either of the two incidents you listed. The donuts... nothing happened other than the car got dirty... the paint... everyone that sees it loves it. Don't get me wrong, I love my z, its the 6th one I have owned... but its not like I am taking a GT-3 and doing this... its a pretty cheap sports car that wouldn't be too hard to fix that I don't ever plan on getting rid of.
Actually, I've bit my lip about this in the past, but I never really understood the angst that other people had about mudding the Z. It looked like fun to me, too.

And it may not be for everyone, but it's cool that you did a large-scale project on the Z like this. It may speed up the depreciation, but it's your car, it's your money.

lol that isn't there anymore. It was a joke to piss off the cops because they said mine was too dark when it wasn't so I taped off a z and painted the rest black took it to the station and was like "well you can clearly see all the parts of the taillights that need to be visible for them to be legal so here is my fixit ticket sign off on that and i will be on my way". They are back to being completely smoked now we stripped them and smoked them again while we painted the car

I like it, and if you ever have to touch it up, the matte paints don't need any blending, just shoot the spot.

LoL Okay.

But the whole doing it just as an 'eff you' isn't necessarily a good thing... Just draws bad attention/animosity towards the vehicle, but as with the premise of this thread, to each unto their own.

Still waiting for high quality pics. I'm kinda wondering about matte black vs a gloss black. Since I dunno if we're ever gonna get a dark [better] blue.
