Now my Z is all up and running I need to think about making it look better lol.

 

So I already have the wheels in mind - Rota Grid Drifts.

 

Its having the bodywork sorted in a few weeks time to get rid of the rust patches on the arches, so I have 3 colours in mind, what do you think?

 

I'd be happy with either, but want feedback, as one may be an acquired taste lol. ;)

 

 

So - as it stands at the mo (check out the multicolour reds :headvswal )

Olive !! All the way mate !

 

Red, Black, White and silver have all been done to death, that would look so cool and show a sense of individuality !!:bow::bow:

 

Olive body, with black under the bonnet and the dark wheels, would look totally different to anything out there !

 

Agreed with previous comments that it would need to be the right shade of Olive, but it would be ubber cool !:cool:

 

Most important thing to remember ?

 

ITS YOUR CAR !! So do what YOU fancy !!:)

 

I can remember nearly 15 years ago, folks told me that a Z/28 Camaro didnt suit Orange and that it should be Red or Black !! Fook em, I did it Orange and got the front page and page three of the AAC UK magazine.:)

'Different' isn't always 'good'. Seen many ruined cars because owners want to be different. Painting a car a baby sick colour that has all the airs and graces of a blackboard is 'different'.....but 'attractive and slick'? Narrrr! LOL

Si............. :p

Dude, the colour is revolting! If he wants to be different, may as well paint it pink or dyno rod orange! :hurl:

Tis "good" if the owner loves it ?? His car, his choice !

Personally, Its down to him at the end of the day.

 

Good luck with your choice mate, if its Olive, you will need it on here !

Indeed, but he's asking for people's opinions! :rofl: I just can't work out why anyone would consider painting their car such a vile colour. :rofl:

Woo-hoo I've divided the room!! LOL :nana2:

 

I knew it was a love it or hate it (and I knew a certain someone would hate it :rofl: ) but it looks like I'm getting the support and backing that I would need if I was to choose the first colour. I have these visions in my head about how it would look but haven't really spoke to anyone about it :rofl: so its good now its out in the open, and glad people would like it ;)

Your vision must be clouded by either insanity, cataracts or alcohol....or a combination of all 3! :rofl:

Would be hard to sell on though as it wouldnt be everyones taste!

 

Just out of curiosity? what did you do to change the colours of the cars on photoshop??

 

DaZ

 

Thats not a problem, I don't plan to sell it anytime soon ;)

 

Regarding colour changes - its about highlighting areas, (then how I did it) desaturate, then mess around with variations and brightness/contrast etc. Followed by history brush to get rid of the excess. ;)

 

I dont think this forum will ever see an Olive Zed ?

 

Alan..

 

Keep backing me up Alan and it will.... ;)

Thats rich coming from someone with a car the same colour as dried dog shit :tongue:

i would go for the olive look, ive seen a couple of modded cars and they look good, the wheels look great

Tbh, with those NISMO wheels you're planning you could paint a picture of a dog turd on the bonnet and the car would still look good. In my judgement zeds should be either black or white (although you can get away with red if you pick the right wheels). Although I'd say go with olive, just for the fact that it will be the only one in the counrty.

 

P.S. good luck saving enough pennies for the LMGT4's

Oh wow, that photoshop feature is awesome Baz, Thanks for the tip.:hyper:

 

New colour Dazvert shit red! :rofl:
