Doing a little paint on a new Z...

Here's a Z06 in right now:





This is before adding a dark candy blue over the flames to tone it down as subtle as is desired and then it's cleared & polished to a perfect high gloss finish.

I'll post more pics tomorrow as it progresses.

I like it the way it is. I'll probably like it toned down too and can't wait to see final pics. Very nice.

LOL! I saw that one before Mike.....he sure put the time into it!

Updates:

Step two toned down (in person it is app 1/2 as bright) so it should be sanded & buffed later today.

And the finished product! (we don't have the emblems on yet).

The pictures still make it look like to much, but in person it is awesome.

Just got the emblems on.

$2800 for most any design you can think of. I love it in person, but everyone has their own tastes.

aiting for Pete Incaudo to finish the heads/intake. I'm installing the Pfadt coil overs & sway bars while he is doing the heads. Powdercoating the wheels black to go w/the paint too.
