Ongoing 350Z progress pics & info...

I stripped the paint and re-sprayed it with telefonica blue. I think im going to throw on a clearcoat. BTW does the clear spread out better if its sprayed in a warm place? (its testors clearcoat) When I sprayed the old paintjob (in the cold) it was really orange peely and didnt shine. Feedback welcome.

-New exhausts
-WRX STi rims
-dropped

I'm one of he big fan of Testor Clear coat.. for the temp, don't spray of it's snowy :D Warming will help a bit but not really needed...

Put 1 coat.. sand inperfection then go with a second coat.. if still inperfect, try with compound..

nice color btw.. and for pic, what is your cam ?

Looks pretty good, but its got some weird sparkly reflections?

A warm place will for sure work better. But as Vric said, sanding down and a second coat should do the job.
Nice colour.

Good luck.

nice job, but it looks like more paint might be needed under the spoiler. it looks a little thin there from what i see. what wheels be those?

Loving the color:eek: Keep us updated on ur progress.

Don't y'all read the posts? He said "WRX STi rims" pretty clearly!

There's more to A/F than just pretty pictures...:rolleyes: ;) :devil: :finger:

Thanks for the tips Vric. Oh and my camera is a Kodak Easyshare 4.0 megapixles. I love it. It takes really detailed pics.

freelunch: the paint is Tamiya Telefonica Blue. It is supposed to have sparkles because its a metallic!

And yes, they are WRX wheels. MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD READ THE POST!

nice work man, the rims look like they belong on the car!

Use Tamiya Clear on Tamiya paints and you will get a better finish.
