My blinding white '93
Car was partly disassembled, sanded down to metal mostly, primed, and painted refrigerator white. A clearcoat with a little silver-blue pigment was added. Tomorrow the wheels arrive - stock, but polished and chromed.
Photos soon thereafter. The remaining question is whether or not to add side stripes - and if so, what sort? |

Zebra stripes would be most attractive! Ron.

Worlds fastest Kenmore??
Henry,
Your car looks great in white. I also like the chrome wheels, they really make the car POP. Nice job! How much did the paint job run you, if I may be so bold as to ask?

The wheels were apparently $75 each to polish and chrome-plate. Worth it! |

Henry, your car looks great. I've always like the all white (The Japanese spec I've seen in the past), and had considered, if I ever had to repaint, doing the same thing. I think, however, I'd go with the somewhat "golden pearl" that was put on the later model 300ZX.

I like that: "World's Fastest Kenmore"
The car is going back to the shop for another 1/2 man-day of labor to handle my list of small items. It'll never be perfect, but this is now precisely the car I want, and I'm really pleased with it.
If a stock SVX turns heads at stoplights, you should see what happens when it's painted blinding white with chromed wheels! Today I received at least 4-5 thumbs-up, or positive comments. It's worth every nickel I didn't pay! The nitrous was disconnected for a smog check - it's going back in this weekend. Yee-haw!! |

It looks fantastic just like it is.
I think any sort of pinstriping would take away from the appearance. No stripes. Stripes are bad.

Henry, you didn't NEED to take out the nitrous for smog check... I passed without taking it out....
It's all about the shop you go to. |
