Default Project: Nissan 350Z - Japanese Style

Hi guys!

I bought my first xmod today... my favourite car, a Nissan 350Z.

However, I did not like the bodycolor of it, and since I played NFSU 2 I thought "why don't do a much cooler body paint?"

And this is how it started...

I coated the car with white and now I am working the "freehands":





The spoiler is custom made.

So... what do you think? There needs more work to be done on the paint... but you can see how it will look like

It looks pretty cool for initial design. I would like to see more balance between the the plain white and graphics/colors. Maybe add a simple Japanese flag to the hood or something. You know... the red circle? That would look really hot. Good work though!

very nice what are you using to color it and did you sand it before painting or did you just use a primer?

Hope you like this one!
