Ended up having a few minutes of free time today.
Plasti Dipped emblem
Added tape to insides of openings to speed up the peeling process.
Front emblem done. I also applied this to the rear aswell. Several coats of black then a coat of Silver Metalizer.
Plasti Dipped the Mirror base.
Rear hatch trim coating bothered me so I used Trim Coating purchased at my Local Paint Supplier.
Washed then claybarred the whole car with Magic Medium and Fine grade clay. Applied several coats of Zaino and sealer after claying was completed.

Installed Guppy Antenna

Damn, so f--king sick! Gil, you got mad skill, LOVE the way you detailed your car. The paint looks AMAZING! Damn great job!
Devil is in the detail and Gil you certainly display a great eye for the finishing detail touch ... stunning looking NSX that if I was Stateside I be talking to you about ownership if you do let it go!
Someone will get a great NSX ... hope you get to enjoy a little longer
regards, Paul

Thanks guys, I have a few more things to do but she does look great. The yellow Nsx belongs to my Bro, I ended up doing the same treatment to the paint.
I have a spare coolant expansion tank I am going to try plasti dipping.
I still feel the car needs the perfect wheel set.

Loving the new changes. It's amazing what plastidip does.
+10 on the perfect wheel set.
You can do anything and everything to a car but without a nice set of wheels it will not look as good as you want it too. One thing I learn is the wheels make the car :wink:
You get what you pay :smile:
You have one of the cleanest NSX here on prime that's for sure :smile:
Imagine your car with HRE 547 or ADV.1 ADV05 it will be the perfect NSX on prime
:biggrin: :wink: :smile:
very nice paint job indeed:tongue:. car is looking good
absolutely STUNNING as always gil!

Looks amazing, only thing I'm not feeling is the fake wheels. Did you sell your other wheels??

Im already working off the replica wheels. Give me yours:wink:
I sold them already! I have three different wheel types I am after and have a hard time choosing. If I can score my buddies Dymags those will be on the car.
I took 160 pics and still have to sort through them, I'll post more up as I go.

Originally they were apart of the build, I ended up redoing the last shops work due to the Overlay lifting so I stripped and re vacuum bagged the center arm rest and console.
Chris,
I have plans already set in motion. I want to work off of an original 02+ and have a new platform in the garage to learn.
Mike
Thanks I really appreciate the update on the thread.
