Anyone out there have any expierence painting a stripe down the middle of a Z car? I have a good paint job now but would like to have a stripe down the center. First what to strip with (sandpaper? strippers?) Do I really need to take the paint off? Or is there a good paint that will adhere with little prep work over the existing paint? I plan on doing this myself (i am brave) mainly because of cost, all the quotes I have received have been at least 500.00 bucks. Thanks, Zlishall

When you're working on something cosmetic, especially interior stuff, always start on the passenger side. Two reasons... errr... actually there's only one: After doing whatever it is the first time, you become a seasoned veteran and will do a much nicer job the second time. Right? The second attempt will be on the side that you will see most often. Follow me? Otherwise, you make your mistakes on the driver's side and any slight imperfections you may have will be staring you in the face every time you get in the car... mocking you... taunting you... brazenly accusing you of shoddy workmanship... And then one day you find yourself cowering behind the dumpst…

I just joined as my "little" brother is a member here and showed your site to me last night.:tapemouth I just had to mention you Keith. You all have a great looking site. If I happen to pick up a Z someday, I'll be back a lot more, as this is an excellent site for the hobby. BTW, I belong to www.bombs-away.net. It's for the game "B17-2 Flying Fortress The Mighty 8th". It's kind of a sister site to you as it's also by vBulletin. If you're into flight sims, stop in, register and say hello. Then join in on the fun there too. Everyone's welcome. Take it easy and enjoy.
