Driveway paint job (satin black)
 

Well I wanted my car to be satin black was sitting around with a couple buddies and decided we were going to paint it, in the driveway, lol... I know a lot of people are going to hate on it, if so keep your comments to yourself they don't do anyone any good. Everyone I know that sees it loves it and we all think it turned out great as well.

so the only thing is why did you wrap it? it sounds a lot easier and keeps your paint factory fresh....

I can definately see doing this to an old Z (like a Z31,32) etc. Pretty good and a cheap mod. But on a 370Z? Ouch.

because wrapping it is like $3000 and I painted my entire car for $400

:eek:

and it doesn't really matter to me because I am not getting rid of it. Once things pick up for me again I am going to end up turning this one into a track car so the loss in value doesn't matter.

like I said the loss in value doesn't matter to me because I wont get rid of it lol... I'm just waiting for business to pick up again turn this one into a track car then get a new one or the 135i not sure which yet

Cant see enough detail from your photos to comment on the overall quality, but wow what a project to take on yourself at home. I think it looks baller, hats off for a crazy project! :tiphat:

As far as the quality goes the only negative thing I have heard from anyone that has seen it (to include a couple of the shops around here) was one guy saying he didn't like the color itself and isn't a fan of the "murdered" look.

Had a guy ask me to do it to his BMW M6 but seeing as how it is a $100k+ car I am not going to lol.

I think it looks alright, in pics, but would be curious how it looks up close.
Props for out of the box thinking with it!

so you made your baby do all the work while you and your friends sat inside? put them to work while they are young!

looks like it came out nice, good job. what did you actually DO to make it satin?

Surely you got balls doing this on your driveway lol

Get more pics if possible :)

Meh, as long as you cant tell that it was painted in a driveway theres no reason to get hung up on people hating on the color. You chose it cuz you like it - all that matters.

Answering this is when the haters come out lol. We sanded it down went to autozone bought a bunch of satin black krylon spray paint and painted it lol

I agree with both of these statements. Looks good... in distant pictures. Definitely have some balls repainting your $30k+ car in your driveway.
