Alic Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 What do people think of my white Impul Z concept (photoshopped from my black one) I plan to paint the rear bumper grill matt black, tint the lenses for the indicators and paint the inside of the front scoop black also. Thoughts? Quote
Stephen Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Go for satin mate, it stays looking fresh longer. Quote
Alic Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 Satin may last longer and look clean, but in my opinion I think gloss looks superior and stands out more from coming from a dull faded black. Sent from my Elephone P8000 using Tapatalk Quote
Alic Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 No no no. Gloss white. I guess like funkysi's but not a pearl Quote

Thoughts? You said you were going to paint the rear bumper grill Matt Black, Steve was recommending Satin Black instead:thumbup1: Quote
Funkysi Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Don't do satin IMO. Also don't do the inside of the bumper aperture. For the accents around the indicators and the fogs and the recess in the rear (Impul) just go for a nice deep metallic grey. It'll give a cleaner look. Quote
Alic Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 You said you were going to paint the rear bumper grill Matt Black, Steve was recommending Satin Black instead:thumbup1: Oh, I meant on the Impul back bumpers they have a grill in the back bumper, but yes stain black would look nice there.

I'll take what you say on board, but when I get round to actually painting it I'll do a mock up and see which looks best in real life because I think the black inside the bumper would look nice.

Gaz 300 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Just give it a fresh coat of black. It will be cheaper, less work, original and black Z's look so cool. Quote
Alic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 I'm not really bothered if this gets much attention but I did the rear of the car to white keeping the impul mesh probably satin black. Boy the Impul rear bumper looks like a storm trooper. Quote

Alic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Front and back, tomomontana has my skirts :mad: Oh and just the person, it was only in the other thread i was commenting on your Impul front tints. Is it correct you used pray on tints for them? Also you have an amazing Impul example. Quote

Alic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 You going to any events next year? I would really like to see your z in person. JAE, Japfest, NEC? I'm only new to the club, but I definitely think your car is one of the best here! Quote
SLICKTOP Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Doubt it mate, probs just the Scottish car show! Thanks again, look forward to seeing yours with the kit on! Quote
Alic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 The kit is on... Just its all black and I don't think black does the car glory Sent from my Elephone P8000 using Tapatalk Quote
Alic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Cheers for passing by! At least someone thinks white looks good haha Sent from my Elephone P8000 using Tapatalk Quote
Alic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 I need to get round to taking some more, but this is what I've got for now. Or look at the video I took when I bought the car. Just FYI I am 16 and in the middle of restoring 2 zeds, I think you could agree its the perfect first car/s :) Quote
Alic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Cheers Martin, I'm going to do the can belt soon, and then try save up for those skirts :) Sent from my Elephone P8000 using Tapatalk Quote
Pebkau Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I have to say I quite like the white idea My suggestion would be keep it to 2 colours only, white body black everything else. if you look at most cars they are 3 colours if you look at body, wheels, trim and tyres. Just 2 will make people look twice and not know why as its just slightly off the norm - - - Updated - - - maybe even black chrome the tailpipes Quote
