its that time again..... help me chose a color

simota1 · 03-13-2012, 05:29 PM

ok guys so i got the fenders in already... and i went to a body shop... asked if they can blend it in with existing and blend the old body kit (since its a darker shade) and they said might as well repaint the whole car... i never thought of changing colors... i dropped that idea a long time ago but i guess this is a chance for a different color.... help me decide what color i should paint my z.... please keep in mind the color has to match my red kevlar inside....

thanks in advance

photochops are much appriciated!!!!!

here is icemans photochop...

this color was to replicate this color of the rims

GaleForce · 03-13-2012, 05:45 PM

That's a cool colour, but not with your red kevlar interior.

phelan · 03-13-2012, 05:47 PM

aren't you pretty stuck with red if you want to match red kevlar lol.

or go white / graphite / boring, since those match with everything...

maybe go matte gunmetal, reventon style.

simota1 · 03-13-2012, 06:02 PM

Bingo! I was gonna suggest the same thing!

phelan · 03-13-2012, 06:08 PM

well you can go for a graphite paint and then wrap it in matte vinyl...

My picks:

cheshirecat · 03-13-2012, 08:21 PM

Forest green with gold wheels. It's a color combo that's never done but would pop with the z's lines.

Kinda like this shade.

Lemers · 03-13-2012, 08:26 PM

Blackcherry

I own a body shop an it is not worth painting the whole car if u just have to do fenders doors n covers getting involved with door jams and inside hood and trunks is a significant increase in work it's a great idea but just make sure you talk price with them because I would charge 2500 to shoot the exterior with out the roof but if your doing a color change I would charge around 5-6k good luck with whatever you do just make sure up front
