davegti Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 http://www.picfury.com/galleries/ImageGallery-889.html Your damm right i'm busy driving It really is a great car and i'm saddened to see her beaten overall by the S2000 in the autoexpress as a sports car But then i've been in both and i know how the land really lies....350z Had the front end coated in paintshield on tues, brilliant job but 6 hours to fit seemed forever.... aparrently these are equal hardest to fit alongside Ferrari 360's, so in good company.

Jacko Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi Dave, Glad you enjoying the car, I'm loving mine after picking up last Saturday. I can't stop beaming when I come out of the office/house and see her there! Anyway, was just wondering how do you find the paintshield? is it very discreet, i.e can you see the lines etc? Also if you don't mind me asking....... whats the damage? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegti Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hey Mark, The Paintshield was £380 for bumper,front bonnet,wing ends and wing mirrors. more info here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1241 If you chose just to cover the bumper and mirrors there would really be any sign of lines but with the wing ends and bonnet they are visible. However stand further than 1m away, you don't really see them and my friends and neighbours didn't notice until i pointed them out. Personally i think its pretty cost effective as this coat can be removed when selling time comes around and no front respray will be required. When the coat was applied i already had two chips with 450miles on the clock and gentle driving Hope this helps and glad your loving your 350 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that I'll need to get the two big stone chips that are already on there sorted before I do! But thanks for the info.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
