The Color is Smoked Grey, Also know as gunmetel.
They got it done in 1 day, which is dam fast, but they only had my car to work on.
I have a full lip kit im putting on tommarow, they painted it today and want it to dry.
The things i noticed about the paint is, at the bottom of the car, where it's dirty the paint ins't real smooth, they painted over the dirt, and they got the tips of a few black things, nothing major, there is a small **** up on the paint, but no drips, my ctr lip will cover the **** up, so no big deal.
Ok now with the pics, my cam is crappy, and if i move when i take the pics, look like the car is bent, It's not.
BEFORE- Coral Green Peral was the stock Family Saden Color
They did around the si grill, and my dx grill cover and didn't get any on the hood
Notice how ****ed up the z3 fenders were (dam fiberglass)
Me and my bro's car
AFTER- Gunmetel, Smoked Grey, The Car is darker then the pics show, Like i said my cam sucks, look at it in real life, it's pimp
Car looks bent, just my ghetto cam
Keep my DX on, got to show what i got
Sunlight makes the car look way lighter then it is
This pic show about how dark the color really is
Car looks dam good, it will look better with my ctr kit on it tommarow
Fender is not as bad
One of the mess ups, my cam can't even see it much, that how small it is
Now can people stop trashing talking earl scheib, i think they did a good job, there are a few spots here and there, but nothing major at all, so far it looks dam good.

It's a Full CTR Kit. The Sides were called Civic Type R, I know they are not, but they flow well with the Z3's. Even if you don't like em.

so is all gunmetal one color?
or are there different color codes?
and also can anyone confirm that the 6000Kelvin bulbs are the green hued bulbs
and also how much will a paint job run me?.. i have to strip the engine, suspension, gut the interior and window glass right?

are you wanting the doorjams and engine bay painted, if you dont care if they dont match then you wont have to strip anything.
I believe quad had the basic gunmetal color darkened a little bit, you can do pretty much anything you want with paint colors

i think i'll want to strip everything cuz i would prefer it if the engine bay and door handles were painted also.. looks more professional and like a better job done... plus its cool to show off a gs-r with a gunmetal engine bay 
edit: will the paint add weight (if any) to the car?
