Uhh..... Am I the only one that does _not_ like that color on that Z28?

Maybe if I saw it in person it'd be different, but in the pics, it looks TOTALLY out of place to be that color.

No offense, just personal preferrence I suppose.

i was going to say really sharp and then i saw your black blisters which makes it look terrible.....however if you plan to do black heritage stripes then i think it will look really good. i like yellow although that's more of a standard yellow it still looks nice but either put the stripes on the car or paint the blisters yellow.

not really sure which one i'd like better......since your buckets are black and you already did the blisters the stripes would go really nicely. without the stripes though; no good.

if you put the heritage striped on it would look a whole lot better, or yellow blisters would look cleaner i think

Wow, looks almost like my old 92 Z, I painted canary yellow.

I love it, one of THE best colors you can paint anyting!!!!

The black blisters don't look so bad, just paint the stripes soon.

New wheels would look nice, 17" at least...

If you really did this paint job on your own over the weekend in your garage, you did a great job, nice work, looks great...


IMO: To finish it up, and make it nice as you possibly can:

1) 17" wheels (SS, ROH, Y2K, TT2'S)
2) 2-3" Cowl or SS hood
3) Black stripes or yellow blisters

She is looking nice though, again, great work, nice color, love it!!

Looks damn good! I recently bought the exact same color paint and will hopefully be painting my thirdgen in the next few months or so.

How much paint did you use?

How difficult of a job was it?

Did you also paint the door jams?
If so I would like to see some pics.

Kinda like the MYZ. IMO do the stripes no matter if you keep that hood or not. Something to break it up a little more. Some rims would be cool too, like K91Z's or some TT2's.

Mabye if you painted the mirrors and spoiler? or some other accents black the black blisters would go better. Try some photoshops and see what works.
