Hi all we masked up the car last night inside the doors and i am buying a liter of paint tonight to do my door jam's. The thing is what ever paint i buy tonight is the paint i am going to use to do the whole car so thats where you guys come in ill tell you what i was thinking and maybe someone can post their opinions thanks please no stupid shit.

I was considering 350z black as its a nice black its Forest Black i think, I considered this because i have seen a few 350z's that looked crazy when washed but now i am starting to think that its to flat and there is nothing special to the paint its just a flat black.

P's: I don't want pearls or custom colors that are going to give me problems later on i just wan a basic color off a black Nissan.

The second choice was the standard metallic black off the R32 GT-R this is nice and has sparkles in it which kinda put me off before seeing little colored sparkles through the paint but at least its got something to it and its not plain and boring so let me know what you guys think and i might be able to make a decision by 3pm unless my head explodes from thinking about it to much .. thanks

what colour is the car now? if its black rubbing down the paint now will be ok to go over it but if you are changing the colour of the car I would suggest priming the whole thing first. Just make sure you know what colour you want and go with that it, its your car so its your choice. Im a person that needs some kind of effect in the paint, it maybe metallic or pearl cuz plain colours dont do it for me sorry. Just take your time in deciding dont rush things it will still be there tomorrow :cool:

yea the car is in total primer it was already black but im doing the door jams tonight thats the thing.....mmmmmm ff**k so hard to decide i might go the metallic if no one else persuades me.

Any metallic paint will look awesome in the sun. Dont get a plain n boring colour.

In all honesty you should have chose and bought your colour before you started...easier that way

Already got the paint got the code off here its the black pearl metallic opened the can looks sick not much metallic but its there so the paint ain't so boring looks tuff thanks for your help

Good choice! wish I found this thread yesterday..

I agree, plain colours are just too.... well... plain.!

I love the Midnight purple my 33 is, how it changes colour a little but not heaps like some.

If I was getting a re spray it would be a dark metallic black over a dark cherry colour...mmmmm

Put pics up as you go and show us your progress..

good luck!

looks good man just need to use a proper mask even though you might not feel the effects, paint is fairly bad for ya health an investment into a good mask would be a good idea :( Other than that keep up the good work?

Yea mate i know but i didn't spray the whole car i just ran in and did the rear just learning as i go i guess but yea my nose was black after it we were getting high off that crap ! my dad had the mask i got it for him but when we spray in the booth i aint even going in there :banana:
