Hey need some help. With paint on my car.(Advices)
 

Hey i got a 2010 nissan 370z nismo i got it off the car action. I fixed it up now i got to paint it. Can decide if i should paint it all one color or give it the 2014 look with the two tone piant.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d3c329a126.jpg

This is how 2010 looks.

This is 2014 look with red and grey with gunmetal wheels.

Then there's this option which is similar to the 2014 look but black paint on the trim. And the bumpers are 2010

What ull think. :rolleyes:

im not a fan of dat two tone. it looks unfinished. for ur ride id keep it all red, paint the wheels to the gunmetal color.

maybe get the door handles painted gunmetal too, unless red.

IMHO; just one colour, no two tone paint job.

I like the 2014 pic the best but it needs painted door handles and headlights

Monochromatic paint rocks!

Bout how much they charge to paint handels

What that is

It's what vehicle manufacturers can do when they have something that looks awesome without a bunch of cheap graphics and paint schemes to distract your eyes from the lines of the car/bike.

i have these on mine Motorsport! EVO-R Carbon Fiber Door Handle Cover Kit, 09-14 370Z - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z 260Z 280Z 280ZX 300ZX ( Z31 Z32 ) 350Z 370Z Parts

no idea how much a shop would charge to paint them

speak english you inbred

How much they would charge to paint the handles depends on whether or not they have to remove and install them. As for the color options... Two tone looks unfinished like somebody said earlier. I hate that look. One color this car looks like it's going to hundred miles an hour sitting still and it distracts from that when that's two tone like pictures. If you want a custom look I would just gun metal the wheels and door handles. One final thought if you have them painted door handles tell them you would like an extra coat of clear coat on them. They see a lot of wear and tear and some shots don't put enough clear on to handle the abuse... That's my two cents

I like the two tone on my pearl white, I think it helps to break it up a little, but not a fan on the other colors. I kind of like the carbon fiber look as highlights though.

I'm not a fan of painting the handles, especially color-matched to the car.

1) It never holds up to extended wear.
2) It looks weird to me, like the car's an injection-molded toy (all 1 piece).

YMMV. I'm considering deleting mine entirely and adding door poppers.

I thought about shaving as well, but keep thinking with out the door handles the body lines may look disjointed.

I stole these from a Google image search. I like.:driving:

Didn't even think of a google search. Look like I need to find a junkyard door and see where my body work skills are after 10 years of no use.

The door handles are an iconic part of the styling of the Z34. Rather than mess with them, just leave them alone and go with a monochromatic paint scheme for the car.

Okey if i paint car red should i go with the alloy wheels or paint them gunmetal?

I love the alloy wheels. The brighter silver really makes them pop. Then your door handles and emblems match your wheels. No more work required :)

...actually I'd highly recommend swapping the Nissan emblems for the satin silver Z emblems. The satin silver emblems match the satin silver wheels and door handles exactly! They look great:

Gunmetal wheels look great on a dark colored car. On red I agree that the alloy looks best. Really can't go wrong though... unless you go with fluorescent.:icon14:

I agree. In the truck/SUV world the completely shaved look is one I like but those shaved Zs just look off to me.

I agree that the door handles are iconic symbols of the z line, however I couldn't stop focusing on the door handles. They drew my eyes to them like a black eye. I thought that it ruined the flow and lines of the car, so I had mine painted. In the end it comes down to a personal preference.

It does but your car still looks better than completely shaved to me.

Two tone with dark wheels looks awesome.
