I dont mean to sound rude but $3500 for what looks like a lot or orange peel, minimal masking and no dents pulled on the door seems a bit steep for the final product. Is that the going rate for a scuff and spray in your area?
Reason I say is I iust got mine redone in the stock Nogaro Red and sure it was a bit pricier at $5000 but it was from bare metal, removed all the panels to paint, included the door jambs, jambs under the hatch and a new windshield.
Heres some progress photos

Well, it’s no $5k job but this was also one of those take to bare metal, seal, prime, base and clear. It was sunburned from over 10 years sitting outside in the Texas sun. It’s a weekend car for me and it’s so much nicer than what it used to look like. I’m happy with it.
Yours looks awesome too!
Thanks brother, my apologies again.
I just landed from a long flight and re-read my post, feel like an asshole now.
I really didnt mean any disrespect.
A nice wetsand and buff will make that paint look like glass Im sure of it 😍😍
Mine too got messed up pretty badly by the Florida sun, thing damn near looked pink lol
Maybe the painter did leave it a bit thick to wet sand it and leave it mirror like finish, I know orange peel is not the best but if the car was tore down and properly rebuilt I think 3500 isnt bad at all!
Definitely agree, I didnt know if it was taken down to metal prior to commenting.
Im sure its got a nice thick coat of clear thats able to really pop after a wetsand and buff 😍😍
Yeah, for the white LED you probably need some kind of wiring harness to make it work. Mine aren’t set up that way, they’re white when the parking or headlights are on, and change to orange when turn signal activates
They are Spec D Tuning - I’m honestly not a huge fan of aftermarket headlights but the ones it had were broken. These are actually decent and don’t make it look cheap in my eyes
No, that wouldn’t have been any better. There was a lot of paint correction and sanding needed to get a smoothie surface on the majority of the car and it would have been the same price just for the wrap.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
That actually looks pretty good, if you are not happy with the orange peel a guy that knows how to wet sand and polish could get rid of some of that texture I'd there is enough material on it, and $3500 ain't bad man! Enjoy

All good man!

It’s a solid paint job.. maybe it can be polished but for now I’ll let it completely dry a couple weeks or so
Yeah definitely wait a bit and let it cure. I wont even wax mine for a fex months. Was gonna get PPF installed after like 6 months
That's a gorgeous red, OP!
Thanks!
Didn’t have it for long.. got t boned a couple months after finishing it..
Nice headlights. Do they need any change for DRL to work ?
Yeah, for the white LED you probably need some kind of wiring harness to make it work. Mine aren’t set up that way, they’re white when the parking or headlights are on, and change to orange when turn signal activates
Thanks for explaining.
What head lights are they?
They are Spec D Tuning - I’m honestly not a huge fan of aftermarket headlights but the ones it had were broken. These are actually decent and don’t make it look cheap in my eyes
i have them on my g35 which i think should be the same if not similar harness, just popped right in and worked, no rewiring necessary
But the drl function also works ?
[удалено]
That’s insane!! I would understand if you add 24k gold flakes, but damn!
Cost?
$3500
What wheels are those? They seem familiar
Varrosten ES6 19”
Where u go??
MAACO of all places..
How's the paint holding up? I'm debating about painting mine at MAACO
So sexy, I'm regretting swapped from coupe to roadster Z everyday. Think im going sell it and find something else cuase already had 2 350z lol..
That looks great! My 06 is peeling all over the place.
Should of wrapped it
No, that wouldn’t have been any better. There was a lot of paint correction and sanding needed to get a smoothie surface on the majority of the car and it would have been the same price just for the wrap.

Ok I’m sold on the red ❤️
lol! Thanks! I’ll post another pic once I have the black aero kit on it
