BC's Custom 350Z
 

I finally got back to painting an Xmod, this time my new 350Z. I also did some custom work to the body kit. I added the mild body kit, but shaved off the bulky side flares, and shaved some of the front and rear air dams. I then slapped a custom paint job on her. It's a very subtle tribal style flame on the sides and the hood.

nnnnaaaaaiiiiicccccceeee. gj on the paint man. i'm likin the tribal flames.

err i want a 350z body now, thanks alot their goes 40 bux... that paint is sick! were the flames and graphics painted on, or water slide? also what color is that exactly, would make a great candy base!

Thanks!

Everything was painted with rattle cans. ;) I used Tamiya Gun Metal for the flames and Light Gun Metal for the rest. Basically all I did was paint the body the color the flames were gonna be, then applied the masking in the shape of the flames, and then painted it the color of the rest. Finally removed the masking to reveal the flames and applied clear gloss.

genious! hehe i did that on my mountain bike last year... hey bc i posted a thread with a question i was wonderin if you could take a look, lemme stop before gettin too off topic.

very hot bc, finally a custom paint job from you

:clapping hands:

Yet again BC has done somthing.........heh sorry I seem to be in lack of vocablulary for this one......:D

well done BC!!, Well done!!!

Now i need to save some dough for one.....:(

Sick as always BC! Fantasmic job!!

That makes me want to paint my 350z (starts to rattle paint cans).

Awsome car bc!

sweet another clean Bad Company body.

wow........
speechless :eek: :D

its sweet Bad Company.. do you do primer before ur legendary paint jobs? ;)

I'm lovin those rims BC!!!

Thanks guys!:D I do lay down a thin coat of primer to give the paint something better to stick to. It also lets me see any imperfections that need sanding.

do you also paint the suspension?

wow.. i cant get enough of it.. the stock rims painted black would also look nice BC..

and i just went to radioshack and bought 3 bodies, 1 black civic and two red supras, the two supras were complete cars.

so today i will be painting the supra metallic blue with a silver undercoat to bring out the color..

thanks BC.. im painting then your way

The chassis it is sitting on was previously painted an aluminum color for one of my other bodies.

BC -

That is freakin' TIGHT. Probably one of the best I have seen on here. Tell me, what did you use to mask off the windows? You did a very good job. What kind of tape did you use? That seems to be the bad spot for most I have seen on here...the windows always look rough.

I use Tamiya masking tape. It has very clean edges and is made just for modeling. Another key is to not wait until the paint completely dries before removing the tape, sometimes the paint edges will crack when fully dry. Very slowly pull the tape off when it is still kinda tacky.

Needs to go into the 350Z gallery. Awesome job as usual.

beautiful 350z BC!!!

hey BC where did you get those rims?

They come in the new wheel upgrade kit.

BC you just can't go wrong with your paint jobs. I love em all. I still feel tho it's a pitty that RS only used the square bodykits on the Z. I love the smooth Porche looking front ends, they look more like stock.

If you race that body, a lot of people here will want to kill you. THAT IS GORGEOUS!!!

OLD THREAD. BC SOLD ALL OF HIS XMODS LONG AGO.

So what?

He's not gonna be racing it anytime soon.

super hot for a z

is it like anyone posts here very much, there is nothing better to do than to look at almost every post. 1000's of members and 20 posts a day. what a pity...:rolleyes:

We have thousands of members, but not all of them are here for the XMods.

yeah i guess i can see your point...
