the 350z is out? and nice paint job. like the red.

looks like it needs a couple more coats of clear lots of orange peal in the paint. I would have used a darker primer. it looks alright though.

i got the body kit. and i didn't use primer cuz its a candy color.

the original color is copper, which makes a great basecoat for candy colors. the purpose of a candy color is to let the base shine through

:eek:
a 350z...the first time I see one too, nice paintjob!! btw has anyone done a low down on it? like every bodykit to stock, to etc etc

im aware of how candies work. Im saying i would have primered over the stock paint and done a couple coats of red then the candy to make it a true candy apple red.

candy apple red needs a silver, gold, copper, white, orange, or chrome base coat. y the hell would u do a red base coat?

skklown is right..candy means u can see though it....and it is hard to see red though red
the point of candy is to see another color though it...and gold is on of the best colors for that
and since this is the gallery i will include a pic of the work in progress...i dont mean to copy you skklown but i am also doing candy later
i just wanna let anyone know...dont try and put a picture of this car on the xmods official site...i did and here is the e-mail i got

thing is i used the pic that i used here

if i were you i would put some more candy coats on at least. it may just be because of how bright the flash is but the light seems to make it look thin. the red base makes the candy not as dramatic it makes it look deep all the candy ive seen done had the same color base and candy.

i tried to enter my 350z and they rejected also. I send them an e-mail calling them STUPID for not knowing their own products.

the flash might have something to do with it. i used about 6 coats of spray, and thats more than i usually use

That spoiler in the bodykit looks like the lancer-evolution spoiler... or am i on crack?

anyways thats a nice paintjob man.

its kinda like the lancer evo wing.

i retried mine
and it worked
i got 3 votes
rating of 9
lol
btw update pic...my candy project...but i running out of paint...gotto go to my lhs
to make it look this way...it requires 2 coats of candy...then 3 clear coats...

my entry went through also. but not till i had to e-mail the moderater and call him stupid for not knowing products that his corporation is putting out:D

right now its rating is 1 from 1 vote. voter musta been jealous

i smoked my tailights

tail lights look a ton better.

thanx man

i dont like the body kit yuck. just like i dont like the supra body kit. yuck. radioshack should have made the 350z the new version for racing (jrtc?) it is longer and much better looking.

new pic

my taillights

A little patience goes a long way...

Here are some pics of my (for now) stock 350Z. Last time you will see this car like this, it will be getting a special custom paint job.

Front...

Rear...

sorry bout that bc...i was just wondering

SKKlown, beautiful job, except for the tiny bit of orange peel. Beautiful color.

hey gecko how did u get the emble? i would love to paint mines but im scared that i will lose my emble. also how do u paint the vent isnt it hard. i need to paint skyline and my 350. love the stock color. like your pic bc

orange peel? where?

also Badcompany, what color will u be painting ur 350z?

with the emblem...all i did was mask it
and with the vent in the hood...all i did was scratch the black paint away that was already there
