Hey Simota...did you get some more new parts today? Saw your car in the parking lot of the Post Office this afternoon after lunch...figured...Oh Boy this guys getting more goodies for the Z again...

Cool to hear that you're up for a new look..Whatever you choose, I know that its gonna be different...Being that I have the same color as you, I guess my engine bay will start to turn pink in due time....DAM!!!!! BTW...who's/what shop is gonna shoot your paint? What did they quote you?

Red looks nice on the car when its new...but over time Red is one of the colors that fade the quickiest and is the most noticeable...Should I ever decide to shoot mine, it definately will be another color

Nah...That wasn't me....I HATE COPS....

I just ran in to check my box and was in and out...Couldn't mistake your car.....That line looked hella crazy..But what else is new...GMF is always packed like a Motha!!!

Cool that you don't want to mention the shop...Was just checking...I used to be heavy in the import scene back in the day and know a few of the good painters here and there....Figured if you said who or what shop that I might be able to get you a good deal if I knew the painter or shop...$3500.00 hmmmm....Sounds like a three stage paint job to me....Interesting...

yah man the line was crazy..... ill tell you the name after its done man.... the reason why im going to this shop is that im comfortable with him that i can actually work on my car... not the drop off and pick up thing.... and u are correct

it is a tri coat color....

BOLIO 671 · 04-20-2010, 09:01 AM

If its a Tri...you definately be one of a kind...and I know for sure from experience that this Tri Color would look hella sick on the Z....I had a tri on my last sports car back in the day....

Good luck to you and can't wait to see it when its done...

FYI...Since you're car is gonna be down for awhile being painted and everything I guess you won't have to be wiping her down so much and spending all that money on Micro Fiber towels huh?

theDreamer · 04-20-2010, 09:05 AM

A new color, holy hell simota, you are one crazy man.
Are you still going to do black fangs or with this new awesome color not do that?

Caravanshaka · 04-20-2010, 09:11 AM
