which one? the front quarter z3 is painted but hasnt been matched yet, Im planing on repainting the whole car soon so i just painted the z3 the same color as the rest of the car but with sun fade its just a bit off. most of the time you cant tell at all.

I think i am painting it white again and doing a blue pearlessance.

I know what you mean.......I think if you got rid of the side moldings it would look alot better.

Yeah i have been trying to figure out what to do with the side moldings, I painted them white which helped alot but yeah i want to get reid of them completly, i think i will end up taking them off and filling in the indention so that the sides are smooth. In the process probably shave door handles , etc...

I have a RX-7 painted "nissan supper white" with blue pearl and its doesnt look yellow at all. the key here is a very thin coating, if you go too much it looks gaudy.

Are the vents on your fenders suppossed to angle up like that? I guess it follows the contour of the hood but it looks kinda weird when it's in perspective with your doors. Other than that I dig it... nice!

I am going to have to disagree. One of the guys that works with us has a Hatchback that is white with blue pearl, he has a car of the month on my site if you want to go check it out, he's Feb. check it out.

that's a nice hatch, although i can't really tell whether or not it would have a yellowish tint...i dunno, i think everyone should look at white with diamond pearl, just to see it, you'll know it's the nicest paint around!

I'm not knockin' blue pearl, i have it on my car with my S2000 New Formula Red, and i love it@!!

to finish off your car i think you need bigger wheels, and you need to drop it at least a little. then paint the lips all around the bottom of the car, and get rid of the side mouldings. find out why the passenger door looks like its from another car, and why the front bumper doesnt line up with anything. you should have put the z3 gills on straight, but to each his own. i do like how the car looks from the front, aside from the parts not lining up. you dont need too much more work, and it looks pretty nice already. good job.
