I got my G35 today from Snowboi and I want to paint it a solid color. So far I have thought of a Metallic Blue or green, or a Candy Apple red. Oh yea, bondo PM coming your way.

Metallic Pink Pearl or some form of Hot Pink Mica... May be A silver w/ flake base coat, and a light mist of transparent/candy pink?

The purple would look good, the pink would look barbie. Pink is reserved for old cadillacs and miatas for teenage girls.

If you are having Bondo paint it, do purple with ghost flames.Or maybe a matt black bodykit and spoiler.

i think it would look good either midnight blue or a dark charcoal color...

That would look sick. Or if bondo paints it, maybe dark purple in carbon fiber style. Catch what I'm saying?:-?

yea that Skyline is so wicked i love the color.

yea but i dont have a bunch of money to spend and from bondo's work it looks like ill need some money.

Oh and i went to walmart. I found a nice Krylon fusion Red (almost stock color), A nice almost Micro-t metallic blue (little darker) and its rustoleum < that looked real nice and might get it, also found just some light and dark purple (krylon), Mettalic black (Rustoleum). I really like the Metallic blue, alot $5 a can though. Oh and Donzii I got flat black, I did the Hummer and scion, look at those and then tell me if you think it would look good on the G35. I personally think I wont go with black just because its so common.

Yea, the dark purples or dark blues would look good, but you cant beat a real high gloss black or dark candy apple red. Match that up with a set of slammed wheels painted matte black on the centers.
Just my opinion. What ever you decide will look good i'm sure.

have you decided what you want to paint it like? oh! you can have bondo paint it like the pantera scion, but like metallica or ac dc or something. that would be kool. or you can domit like a radio station that you listen t locally. like this.

SPR
01-20-2008, 08:35 PM
well... you didnt exactly paint it right...

id try again and try this..

sand it all down... clean the car in aceton or something simliar.... SHAKE THE CAN for atleast a minute! that really does make a difference..

spray the lightest faintest coat you possibly can, i mean seriously light... like so light you can barley tell you sprayed it, just get some specles on it... let it dry.. that will start setting the surface... paint will stick to paint great... paint wont always stick to a Foreign object... let it dry... do the same thing again, super light, just get it covered a tiny bit more... let it dry, do that over and over, just really thin light coats... paint just doesnt like to stick to xmods, specially with gloss or metallic paints, its a pain, so SUPER light coats is the way around that... and im not kidding when i say light, it might take you 20 coats of paint to get full coverage, but hey, at least it will look nice. take your time, have patients and dont just give up. try it again..

some more tips, do NOT touch the car body at all during painting, even the oils on your hands (yes even after washing them) can screw with your paint job.

do short quick storkes of paint, dont just hold down the button. start spraying before the car, end spraying after you've past the car. make straight line passes across the car. with quick short 1-2 second sprays.

dont give up, try it one more time... whats the worst that can happen, u sand it down and do it over?

oh and sanding is not required between every coat of paint.. specially wet sanding... wet sanding is made for more the final layers or paint to give it a glossy shine and remove the last little imperfections with out ruining the final coat of paint.

i have apinting experience, it just sucks when you dont got a steady hand, and when you use rattle cans, the outcome isnt always good.

Just out of curiousity, Snowboi, did you happen to get your inspiration from Days of Thunder?:
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n71/ajb32690/daysofthunder.jpg

-Xmodificationer, the car looks nice and clean, except for the lines around the windows. And that spoiler looks a little too ricey for me. Without that spoiler, it would look like a no-nonsense street machine. If I can get another chassis, I might try to revive my G35 project.

actually no,i looked at some real nice cars with those colors,and i had green and yellow,so i said,"what the he**,im going to do it."i think it looked pretty good,but there was some parts that i didnt like,such as the red in the back of the body(i never wanted to paint the infiniti emlbem)..

Thats the stock one? lol! Try shaving the stubs and gluing it right to the body. I had that same problem when I did my G35, but then I decided to leave it off altogether, I think it looks better that way.
