my crappy photoshop haha
 

I've been talking about getting my car done 2-tone next month and since noone in the Photoshop section hasn't done one for me, I decided to do one so I'd know somewhat how it'd look. I think it's gonna look awesome but that's my opinion. What do yall think? I mainly want to get it painted white cuz I'm tired of all the scratches the black shows. I'd prefer carbon fiber parts but I'm not gonna dump too much more money into this beast. [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSC03304.jpg[/IMG]

:wtf2:

added a pic.....

Thanks for that! Looks good. I'm blackening out the fangs too with the grey pinstripe, can't wait to get it done!

It looks like a Killer Whale in a very very good way!

If you do the white, get the JDM tail lights.. they look the tits on white

Umm..what?!! haha I would do the tails but I'm actually liking the stock ones. Maybe get them GTR tinted. Plus them lights are too expensive and not worth it IMO.

I KNOW!!! I'm so in-love :) Cant wait til next month!

a mild tail light tint is cool too.. i dislike the ones taht are all blacked out completely though

What the hell was that??? :wtf2:

Sorry, Not Feeling it!

Made me think of that VW Golf V50

:mad: :shakes head:

I think it would go well with the two tone.

dunno about this two tone....

did you take a photo of your monitor? you gotta learn how to screenshot hehe. its that print screen button on your keyboard, after you hit it, you can use paste it in paint or photoshop.

Yea I took a picture of my monitor...haha Photoshop wouldnt let me save in my files. Wasnt worried about being a pro at this...

Thanks NG.

I'm just curious OP, are you really painting the Z to white? I mean, can you imagine the mods you can do with the money you're going to spend on repainting? Also not to mention, you resale value goes down significantly and you will have hard time passing inspection (since the paint no longer matches your registration) and you gotta do paperwork at wonderful DMV if do decide to change the color legally in book. Again just my :twocents:

What about the door jams, hatch and engine bay. That's where it starts to get expensive.

get it wrapped instead so the value of the car doesn't go down.

whats a wrap?!!

AK...yea I'm not happy with the black..I've had to touch up way too many scratches and it's getting old. Plus I'd like mine to be different. I like the black/white look tho. As far as the value dropping, I'm planning on keeping this car until it becomes a classic like the others :)..40 years from now haha. I'll check out my local laws on the paint thing and see if it's difficult, which if it's THAT bad..I may have to reconsider :mad: But the paint job isn't too costly, $3600..I can manage that and it's a good price to me and the body shop I'm going to has been voted best in the County and plus, he's repainted a few parts on my 350 and I was very satisfied so it's all good.

Since my car is already black...the only things to get painted white are the doors, fenders, front/rear bumpers and sides. And he is painting the door jams also white. BUT..since i already have a blue thing going for the inside...I bought some blue paint for the engine bay and the intake shields. It sounds like alot, but IMO it will looks awesome. I'm not going to do much more to my car except for a different exhaust, leather seats, headers, and radio.

Wrapping your car in vinyl. Some GTR people did it.

I personally would never repaint but it's your car, it's your call :) :hello:

Good luck though either way. :tup:

What are the odds of getting alot of air bubbles?!!!!! Sounds like alot of trouble

it's not like it's a clearbra where you can see through the vinyl and the air bubbles are there. even if you get air bubbles, you probably wouldn't notice because they'd be pretty tiny.

Profesional jobs aint going to have any, as they do it in small steps, the labor is the killer... the advantage its reversible. :tiphat:

That GTR video was cool!


A good shop should have next to nothing in air bubbles. My tail light overlays were super thick vinyl wrap. After a few months in the sun, I have no bubbles at all.

Yea the wrap looks pretty good, not my style tho..all I can imagine is what if I get a scratch on it and it starts peeling...have to get it redone..and that stickiness thats left over. I'll take my chance with a new paint job. Probably the same price anyways

The price is the same.

Yea that's what I figured since it looks very time comsuming! I've had my heart set on the two tone anyways so I'll stick to that. Thanks for all the added information tho! Much appreciated ;)
