Cal's Bianco Fuji 350z - Pics P22

Recommended Posts

WE HAVE SOME SUNLIGHT!!!!! For a few mins haha

 

Basically - stuff the numbers, I've ordered them in order of preference.

 

It is incredibly difficult to pick up the differences on camera - though most the goons in my office think they all look the same in person! (Yeah, I actually took them to work haha :blush:)

 

But there are definite, noticeable differences in terms of pearl content and warmth/coolness.

 

1. Ferrari Bianco Fuji - The warmest and pearliest.

2. Lambo Balloon White - More white/silvery than #1 but just as pearly

3. Lexus Glacier Frost - Pearly, but dull/grey in low light

4. Lexus Starfire Pearl - Pure white with coarse flakes, not much pearl

5. Nissan Storm White - Average pearl

It's basically between 1- Bianco Fuji and 2- Balloon White.

 

Bianco is warmer and I'd say slightly pearlier than Balloon, balloon is a cooler, silvery white...

 

Balloon gets a better hit of sunlight in this pic so may unfairly sway opinion.

Your car will look amazing once its done. That colour will look great along the Zed's curves! :)

 

Cheers buddy, I'm hoping so! The flat white does nothing for the curves at all :rant:

 

 

nice 458 ;)

 

It's an artists impression of what my Z will look like when it's done :blush:

My bathroom spotlights seemed to pick up the differences quite well... I think I still prefer Bianco Fuji.

And the Z Works guy has my projector shroud painted - WV2 Silverstone, looks quite dark here...

Yeah I think it's fairly unanimous for the Bianco Fuji.

Do it!

 

Yeah I'm settled on it... There's only 5% doubt in my mind Balloon looks cleaner and crisper, and that 5% is decreasing all the time :)

 

With regards to my Zworks lights, we both agreed the paint shop haven't matched Silverstone grey very well, it's too dark... I don't want the projector to disappear into the black housing. They are going to repaint them asap.

I still like the Balloon White though but I really think you can't go wrong with either colour.

I personally quite like the balloon white, sorry :scare: but the Bianco Fuji does look great too.

 

I think you know what you wanted already..... :thumbs: go for it mate! You zed will look awesome! B)

 

Don't apologise mate, you're entitled to your opinion and it's welcome :) I do like the Balloon White too, I like its crispness... it's worst feature though is that in low lights it looks grey, in certain light conditions it looks far less bright than Bianco Fuji, hard to get a photo to demonstrate :rant:

 

Lambo Lime Green with rich fleck should have been an option :D

 

I'm not quite ready for that mid life crisis just yet mate haha :blush:

Me too mate, nearly all my mates that don't have Z's say go for Balloon... I love that it's crisper/sharper pearl. But the drawbacks are it's more silvery, and grey in low lights especially.

 

Bianco looks great in any light, and I love how the pearl has a satin effect :)

Balloon white looks nice. But what a crap name. Imagine spending that much to tell everyone it's balloon white lol

 

Bianco fuji sounds exotic even without knowing it's a Ferrari colour

 

Very true! People ask about the car all the time, I'd much rather say it's bianco fuji over balloon white haha!

 

But I prefer the bianco fuji regardless... Look how much better it defines the V shape and line in the middle, should really show off a Z's lines and curves well :)

Cheers Richie!

 

Few little updates from ZWorks doing my lights - the paintshop have repainted the shroud in WV2 Silverstone, I'm much happier with it now, not too dark, not too light - As you can see, he's sanded the Ironman sections clear ready.

He's also tinted the dimpled plastic insert ready - he got the tint level bang on what I wanted... Will take the edge off the chrome indicator section nicely!

He did that last night... So he's looking to finish up and post to me tomorrow... I won't have them on before the respray (2nd March) I can wait until it's out of the paintshop - probably for the best in case they get damaged.

 

So yeah, it goes in a week today and I'm 100% settled on Bianco Fuji :D

I did notice the Morimoto halo's in your thread mate, was tempted, but after a leaky set of lights I'd much rather a pro do it with experience and the proper butyl seal stuff.

 

Gutted they won't be on when the respray is done - but they'll make really nice living room ornaments while I'm waiting for the car haha!

My lights are built :teeth:

 

Poor quality pics sent to me 4:30am this morning, but I'm really happy with them!

 

The tint mod looks dark in these photos, but I'm sure in daylight it will look like a light smoke... Very happy with it, and glad I didn't ask him to paint the reflector black, lots of people do this and I personally think it looks cheap.

He's also installing LED indicators for me with resistor to prevent hyperblink, should be bright enough to pass through the tint no problem, and look a little more modern at the same time.
