Dude, I know there will be difference of opinion regarding the matt black, but it's my personal desire to go for it. May Zen & other Japanese imports are painting so, but the matt concept gives SUV, especially the off-roaders the rugged look it deserve! I've not so far felt a cheap look for it, I've seen lot of supercars in matt black from Dubai directly & other western countries in photos! I've also seen a G55 in matt black, same as the Hammann G which was posted earlier in this thread. Above all as mentioned, it's my personal choice! Quote:

Is that a paint booth , if yes why is it wide open ? Chances of bubbles coming up on the paint job are really high. I hope that crossed your mind earlier. |
I know the present tires are the worst to be used in a G. I've already got a set of AT tires as in the photo!
No specific reason for the top to be white, the body is done to understand how it looks!
There is a very packed dust free pint booth, the first quote is done just to know how it look & to point out if there is any small dents! The main work will be done only in the booth! Quote:

Honey is it that since you do alot of raod trips you are getting a similar roof rack fitted on the car and hence the roof is not painted or is it to wait for the restof the car to dry before he goes for the roof. Please do get thicker tyres for the G. |
No buddy, I've not taken the photos of the wheels, will post it later.
It's not beacuse I'm fitting the roof rack it kept white, as mentioned the first paint quote was done to know how it looks as well as is there any minor dents which will be pointed specifically in black. |
