Want to paint the gen3

[Izzmo]

Anyone have any pictures of freshly painted gen3's? I want to see some colors (could be stock/mfr colors) or better yet, custom colors or bright colors (like red).

I was thinking about cherry red, but I'm still uncertain about it. What do you all think?

 

[Izzmo]

No one?

What color is your SHO? Unless you are going to have it jammed I would stick with the stock color. What you could do is go around and find a color you like that is close to yours and grab the paint code and have yours painted that color.

Well, I just said paint for simplification. But I'm actually wrapping the car in vinyl as it would cost me about $50 for the vinyl.

Has no one painted a gen3 an exotic or non-stock color like people have done with the gen 2's?

 

[jmpSHO2nd]

Wrapping a whole car in vinyl is alot of work and I would assume very hard to do without leaving bubbles in the vinyl.

Sounds like you want more of a candy color.


Vinyl is for houses not for cars- sorry had to

Please, vinyl isn't for houses either IMO; hate plasticland vinyl houses.

Don't vinyl your car. As mentioned, what color is it currently? I think my favorite gen 3 colors are white, silver, and toreador red; go with one of those

Wow, you guys are all misinformed.

Please take a look at the company I work for:

This is why I can get it done the right way and done at material cost.

Vinyl (if done right) can look like a painted car.

This is why I said painted instead of vinyl. So, regardless of material, what color you guys think would look good?

 

[Not4speed]

I would have to differ in opinion vinyl may come close, but it's just not the real thing and never will come close in my eyes.

Regardless, I would have to say a matte black, silver, red, and you can never go wrong with blue-350Z blue that is.

 

[Izzmo]

Well, of course you can notice the difference close up, but so you can with a painted surface and blemishes too, so it's kind of a null point.

But I will try out those colors. I've always liked matte finishes.

Pearl white or the pacific green looks good too on the G3!

I've always thought they should have offered the 96 SLO blue on the SHO's.

I've seen pix of a few painted blue and it looks pretty good. Never seen 'the one' real blue 96 supposedly out there.
