We have a powder coating company we use. I charge $600 for all 4. That includes mounting and balancing.

Did you have the dealer paint the areas? How much did they charge if you do not mind me asking. Also did you consider having the black shark fin antenna painted the color of the car? I am currently waiting from a response from Dupont to see if the paint the dealer uses (Chorma Base Dupont) will interfer with the reception. Any thoughts. Car looks very nice.

Thanks for the complement. We are only located in Northern CA. We are the shop that does the work for the dealers.

We think the same on this car with some of your ideas. We do plan on painting the antenna on the roof body color on future jobs. Many OEM antennas are painted body color, so it should not be an issue.

Yes but with the high end 3m vinyl it's almost as good. And it did kinda look like it. They did a great job I like it. Unique look to your ride.

The 3m Controltac 180Cv2-10 with comply adhesive and air holes is damn close to paint and can have millions of colors plus 5 year UV rating, for example.

I like it.

69 Hugger · 07-03-2009, 03:19 PM

I like the front and back blacked out, the hood and wheel not so much. If it comes with the LS7 could make an exception.

Not an LS7, but how about a supercharged LS3?

NICE!!!!!!!!!

I don't like all black hood. It would look better with rally stripes.

Planning on adding a supercharger to mine in a couple of weeks!

could we get a close up of the wheels?

badkarma · 07-03-2009, 05:50 PM

Sorry, but add another meh.

I see too many ricers with black hoods and it's killed it.

Don't be scared. You should have seen the attention this car has already received at the dealership. Drove up and everyone, including customers on the lot and sales staff from dealer next door all came over. I know not everone on this forum will like it, but everyone there loved it. Big attention getter as it is different and bold. It all depends on what the customer wants. That is why there are so many choices you can and people do make on their cars. This is such a perfect car to make your own.
