Looking to change the look of your Z?

A couple of different paint schemes for general discussion

I like 1 & 3 but I think they are more suited for track cars rather the day drives. I don’t like 2 at all. :eusa-think:

1 looks ace, just not for a road car.

Well cheers for adding these to the mix Neil !!

I think also 1 + 3. 2 is just a bit bright and I don't think light blue and orange go together, put it this way - they don't in that setup.

Now then, deep pause ....... I might be 51 and going on fourteen :eusa-whistle: But I would love to be driving in #1, as for #3 I have seen this before and it is photo-shopped at the side and rear. I like the colour scheme but I am not really a fan of matt colours. The wheels are kinda what I would like for mine with the red and black accents plus the rim guards.

More work needed and plenty of thought, one day it will smack me round the face and it will be there, it's either that or a wet kipper from our lass !! :thumbup: :shock:

Just goes to show the diversity of what owners think looks good #2 as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder :lol:

I bet your still in holiday mode and got your sunglasses on !!

Unless of course this owner was colour blind !!!

It's not yours is it Neil !! :eusa-whistle: :eusa-whistle:

Well it does have a stripe! But I included this shot just for you Mick, you had a blue Z and you like orange so I thought this would be right up your street :lol:

Nice mod. A Pipercross filter & some new alloys & it will look awesome :eusa-whistle:

(Pic2 above)

Needs go faster stripes! :lol: :lol:

What was I saying Neil !! ?? Fridge / Wrapped

At least he de-badged it first - lol

 

[DRTDVL]

Neil, just waiting for the wife to leave again and maybe.

Gotta say it's made an amazing difference, freshened up the fridge a lot from an old battered scratched thing. You could always get nice white pearl or matalic black if your not hold enough for blue...

Number 2 of course is a take on the Gulf Oil racing colours.

Normally looks cool, but for some reason doesn't look as good on that RCZ.

Perhaps a few racing type decals would have improved the look.

Dirt Devil ...

Just the other day I was talking to Neil and he nearly laughed his socks off when I told him I was going to wrap the fridge freezer as a precursor to wrapping the car.

He said if you add the racing stripes - it would be - FFFAAASSSTTT FOOOODDDD !!!!

Apologies Neil - not nicking your thunder there mate, just thought the timing here adds to the laughter.

Did you heat it up a little Dirt Devil as you applied it, and do you have to allow for some shrinkage??

Good job looks cool ...

 

[neilgsxr69]

Always allow for shrinkage Mick especially when it's cold! :eusa-whistle: :eusa-whistle:

Only bits I needed to heat here the corner to pull over edge. I lifted the plastic caps on the tops of the doors and folded the vinyl then put the caps back on.

I did need to use a little heat when the freezer door was open as it made the vinyl a bit brittle but not much. There hasn't been any shrinkage so far really and it's been 2 weeks.
