Yahooooooo..... finally after 2 years of engine, chassis, suspension and body work and changing my mind on the color 10 or 15 times my 260 went to the paint shop. I should have it back in a week to 10 days. Then the process of re-assembly begins. If all goes well I should be able to drive it by September. The final color choice is Snake skin green pearl from an 08 viper with a single black stipe down the middle starting out of the power bulge in the hood and ending at the lower valance at the back followed by 3-4 coats of clear. As soon as I get it back I will post some Pics

Congratz! Can't wait to see the pics!

Just googled the color... should be pretty wicked! Can't wait for pics!

Back from the paint shop. only took 2 weeks to get the color and the clear on. It was only supposed to take 1 week, but the humidity set in and we had to work around the weather. As the colour was very translucent, it took 8 sprayable quarts of green and 2 sprayable quarts of black, which we then covered with a gallon and a half of clear. Hope I can get it all back together and drive it before the snow flies!

that is sweet! how much did that cost you if you dont mind me asking? id like to get a full paint job done on my z one day and am wondering how much something like that goes for.

Those may be the best looking skunk stripes I've EVER seen on an S30! I love how they start at the hood bulge and don't extend down the rear valance. Well done!

thats exactly what i was thinking. ive always looked into doing some sort of stripe starting at the hood bulge and maybe fade while going to the rear ending at the spoiler.

Very nice indeed! Color choice is great... even better than I imagined! Now I can't wait to see the reassembled pics!

I've never seen Snake Skin Green Pearl in person. From the pics it looks like it really pops in the sunlight. I agree, those are very tasteful stripes. Very nice!!

That is too awesome!

Congrats!
