Default Custom Paint for the Z today!

First off I want to thank Richey Collision for doing an OUTSTANDING JOB!!

And unbelivalble turn around. ( 1 1/2 days!)

If ANYONE is looking to get custom paint or repairs done you have to check these guys out.

Karen is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and she will go out of her way to take care of you.



Few of you remember I got the lower panel painted on the 04'

Gloss Black

Well I just got my car back this afternoon with a new paint scheme that I wanted to try. A few people thought I was nuts for doing it in this color. But I visually saw it in my head and I knew it was going to look outstanding.


End result!














I love it! It looks outstanding!!! The contrast is just what I was looking for!

I used Corvette Spiral Grey (03/04) for the color and matched it with a small 1/8 pstripe.


When I get the ACP Hood I will do the same color scheme with the thin stripes down the center in Spiral Grey.

Looks good, something different for a change of the norm. Do they only do repairs or will they do full custom paint jobs?

Sweet thanks, I want my entire car painted, going with a new hood and spoiler, might as well paint the whole car. Hey you hear that Chupacabra/Mike? Maybe we can get a group deal ...not, but hey maybe he'd cut a break for LS1tech members at least.
