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.

wow. It looks really well done, but not to my personal taste.
what does a process like that cost?

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.
