3FIDDYZ Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 the new m3's look good with a black/cf roof didn't the TT come in a sports version with a black roof grey and black........... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/320238.htm Yeh TT does come in a range of colours with a black trunk, roof and hood. Saw a nice orange one the other day !! .... But.. As the TT is more centre weighted in design it lends its self to the 2-tone, as the Zed is more weighted towards the rear (longer hood) I am still not sure... that is for the roof/trunk/hood option... As long as the roof is very high gloss black so it matches the wind screen and boot screen I think it gives it the look of a Targa type car... Just my opinion!! Quote
H5 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 You know what I think bud - do it black. Send me some pics when you get it back! Quote
shire350Z Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 tough one to call which black to go for thats the only problem, or would a really dark grey/black look better to match the carbon better Quote
Digsy Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 tough one to call which black to go for thats the only problem, or would a really dark grey/black look better to match the carbon better No, deffo the shiny black to match the rear window surround, mentioned above. Quote
shire350Z Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 someone find me that colour match on the slowest computer in the world here!!! think i should have the rear window tinted to??? a mate off mine got done for havin his front two tinted so not sure wether or not to have the front two done! cant just have the two little rear ones done think that would look a little out of place Quote

shire350Z Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 hmmm might just have the rear one done then or all 5 Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 If you get the rears and sides done 30% and the fronts 20% that will do? Is 20% still within the legal requirment? A guy that was at the reading meet the other week had that combination on a GM and it looked fine Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Just been searching my350z and all I can find for now is "gloss black(500)" Not up on my paints but is 500 a code? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 After looking at pics on the US forum, black mirrors and possibly black wheels look like a must... Not powdercoated though!! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... paint+code zed paint codes Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I dont think its a Zed code, still been searching and it seems that no one has a code, its just a very high gloss black paint. You need to tell the body shop to find the closest match to the black paint on the rear hatch and then gloss it up to a mirror / glass like finish to get the right effect... You will be polishing that baby for ever more!! Quote

elniniol999 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 i would paint the roof black only, looks good. rear tints will compliment it as the pics in the previous replies look great.. dont paint the bonnet and arches too though, i just think it looks like your trying to hard tbh... but thats just my opinion Quote

Yeah the tint or whatever the finish is on the glass. Should be able to find a black gloss that near as damnit matches Quote

Should be able to find a black gloss that near as damnit matches because its under the glass, a dark black with lots of lacquer would suffice imo Quote
shire350Z Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 no what your saying lads its only going to be the roof thats going black just dont know wheather to go gloss black or to go for a very dark grey!!! then for the windows ill be tinting the rear then maybe the sides Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 high gloss black grey will look like a bad match imo Quote
shire350Z Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 yeah was thinking that buddy but then wasnt sure wheather or not to go to gloss as wont match the top of the window nightmare Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 yeah was thinking that buddy but then wasnt sure wheather or not to go to gloss as wont match the top of the window nightmare it is gloss though cos its under the glass, the glass gives it a gloss look Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 If you dont go gloss and black it will look sh1te... look like they got the wrong paint... Quote
Chris`I Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I agree with the others, needs to be high gloss black, and keep it nice and shiney Quote
