Posted November 27, 200816 yr comment_267535 After procrastinating for a couple years, I finally got my 240Z painted. Got the car back from the body shop yesterday and put some new wheels on her last night. They did an overall awesome job...except for some reason they didn't paint the front air dam so I'll have to take that in get it done. The color is 905 Red. I was leaning towards this color, then I saw pics of Arne's car and that was the final straw. Here are some pics:<img src="http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/2629/dsc01462od1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br/><img src="http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/9948/dsc01465uy6.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br/><img src="http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/3144/dsc01464ks8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br/><img src="http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/9959/dsc01463tg7.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br/> Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/30097-finally-got-my-z-painted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 27, 200816 yr comment_267544 If that's the urethane airdam make sure they include the appropriate flex additive in the paint. That may be the reason they didn't paint it to begin with. Surely that topic came up already? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/30097-finally-got-my-z-painted/#findComment-267544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 28, 200816 yr comment_267549 The flex additive dries after a few days. It is only added to aid in installation of the bumper. If you paint with flex additive and try to install a year later, it would still behave the same as with no flex additive.

November 28, 200816 yr Author comment_267554 Thanks everyone for their comments!Arne, I actually have carbon fiber bumpers that I've never installed but am planning on doing so now.They never mentioned the flex additive at the shop for the air dam. I'll definitely bring this up when I take the air dam in there. I'm planning on re-installing the air dam as soon as I get it back.
