I like photoshop, so I decided to play around a little and I came up with this. What do you guys think? I might take this picture to a body shop and see how close they can come.

Broaden the stripe as it reaches the back and wrap it over the trunk, and resubmit... (it looks kind of like a Nike shoe that way)
Try some 2 tone apps breaking it right about where the bottom of the top stripe runs.

Re: G35 Paint Job (rn79870)
I like the stripe on the top end.
I don't like it towards the front where it bends into the arc. I'd get rid of that or something

Re: G35 Paint Job (rn79870)
Hmmm,
Nice idea, but I've seen too many chargers that look that way. I just wanted some contrast on the body. Especially because I don't care for the color of my coupe. I wanted yours!!!

Re: G35 Paint Job (SVTCOBRA)
I don't have a problem with black cars, I just have a problem with black Gs.
I love the pearl white with CF
I think the DG is pretty hawt too.
Silver & Black are eh...I bought it because I wanted the car and the price was right.
Also, the desert platinum and athens blue are AWESOME!!!

The local VW dealer just got in a black/black 6mt coupe on trade! I'll have to go check it out...
I think you just got the mod bug. Just go get a new air freshener for the rear view. Oh, did I mention that my daughter got 2 more gold key awards for her art (stick drawing & CD cover) and silver for her portfolio?!?! And, a $15K/year scholarship to SCAD (which still leaves too much for me ).So, she will most likely go to ASU in the mountatins of NC....keep fingers crossed for all of those other scholarships she applied for!

Re: G35 Paint Job (SVTCOBRA)
It's ok. I take the slaps in stride lol.
My wife actually went to a japanese/korean import gift shop and got me my air freshner. Comes in a translucent purple cup with holes on the top. The darn thing cost $10 lol.
I actually want a CAI, because I think Infiniti really messed up on this intake, but I don't have the $300 to blow on one and I HATE the JWT products. I think they are the ugliest intakes out there. So I'll just stay stock for now. On a brighter note, I did get some Hawk brake pads.
Tell your daughter that your weird NICO buddy told her congrats. I'm thinking about ditching one of my jobs and going back to school too.
Don't fret about college tuition. My University of choice has a 3 year bachelors program with a total tuition in the neighborhood of $120,000 + $1,500 in supplies...monthly. On the flip side, most of their second year students already have job offers before they graduate

Re: (joe603)
Have to agree. first time I looked, I didn't see the bottom fade. Mimic the front swoopy thing.joe603 wrote:If it didn't have the curve to the faded lower portion, I would like it. Just do 2 stripes.
btw, SCAD would be $160K for 4 years! I'll shoot you a link to her photobucket when I can. Would love to get your impression!

Does not do anything for the car IMO.
A racing stripe down the roof line might look ok but I really wouldnt stick that on my car.

Re: G35 Paint Job (Andy_V35Sky_350GT)
I have two ideas at present.
The first and cheapest is to get custom vinyl done. I want it to be very shiny with a slight tint difference than that clear coat, but not white! I was just too lazy to adjust the lines in photoshop for a consistent look.
The second idea that I'll probably try out on a junk door before I apply it to my G is to have bare metal show through the paint. Now before you start yelling at me, think of it this way.
Ever see those metal art sculptures? The ones where they do light sand marks into the metal to create swirls? Just think of that showing through 7-8 layers of clear.
SVT,
Have your Daughter look into Art Center College of Design. It's out here in California. The city (Pasadena) is amazing. Makes me feel like we have our own little NYC in Cali. I'd move there if my ex didn't live there lol.
The school is world renowned and designs for Moen and Chrysler among quite a few others.
