Finally got my Z painted...

[SportBikeMike]

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:

Very nice job. It seems like Arne's car has Inspired many a paint job.

Beautiful job/colour! I really like the wheels too?

Very nice, looks great. Do you have any plans regarding the front bumper?

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?

Looks great mike! I finally got the paint on mine after 2 years. I posted some pics in my gallery.

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.

Hey, that looks great. I have the same wheels as you, and they do justice to your red.

Looks great, 905 is my second favorite color.........nothing better than a freshly painted Z car!

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.
