4K1R4-350Z Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Hey z friends! I'm new to this forum and have just bought my first Z, a beautiful midnight/San Marino blue 2008 HR and I'm looking for some brows/lids pre-painted but am having nooooo luck whatsoever Anyone know of a good source for these (of which colour match is as good as possible!) Need your help resident Z-meisters! Thanks a bunch! 1 Quote
Keyser Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 In my opinion those lids never look that good, chances of getting some in a colour match is slim, not sure if one of the traders on here sells them, try Tarmac Sports, CS (cougar store) or Torquen, for paint you can go to any decent automotive paint supplier and they should be able to colour match and make you a rattle can of the correct colour up Keep an eye on the for-sale section in here as well. Good luck Quote
Paul K Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I know a few people (Buster!!) are using vinyl wrap to make eyelids now. Actually look a lot tidier than the plastic stick on jobs and no damage when removed if you decide you don't like the look Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

4K1R4-350Z Posted April 21, 2017 Author Posted April 21, 2017 Thanks for the info guys! @paul k. How much do they charge on average for vinyl lids? I can't imagine it would be bank breaking since it's such a small amount of work (for a pro!) And so little material being used.. @killer66 - they look awesome man nice job!! Can you go a bit more into detail on how and what materials you used?? I fear paint matching for my colour may be difficult.. but then to be honest i have no experience and I really wouldn't know how hard it is to get noticeably close to the factory spray.. Thanks again guys! Quote
kbad Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Hello and welcome and all the best with the eyelids Quote

Paul K Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Might find it difficult to get a decent match for midnight in vinyl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
