My Z is getting a shiny new paint job which means that I can choose any color I would like. The problem is, I am giving myself migranes trying to decide. I want a brighter color that stands out on the track. The silvers, whites, grays, and blacks tend to blend in while on track. I don't want to go crazy bright though, so no Lambo oranges or greens. Also, I am not a fan of yellows, pinks, or purples. So far my top choices are...

- E46 M3 Laguna Seca Blue


- BASF Candy Apple Red


- Flat Black (I know I said no black, but damn this looks mean)


- BASF Candy Blue


- And whatever green this is...


So far I am not super crazy about any of them, so shoot out some new color ideas.

 

candy apple red for sure.

 

I don't think I've seen a 350Z with this classic Z32 color:



It's called Sapphire Blue Pearl. Here are more pics:







I think it would fit nicely on the 350Z as well.

 

I am going to paint my car blue. Bayside Blue metallic color from a Skyline.

 

Probably a nice color in person, but it doesn't strike me as my best choice. I am really considering the flat black now.

 

If you do choose flat black, its really hard to maintain. If you get oil on it, you get a dark spot. And it fades. Semi-flat black would probably look just as good, if not better.

 

Well, they make flat clear coats now too, which is probably the way I would go. So it wouldn't be a primer, it would be an actual paint with the same qualities as any other color. But yes, I would probably choose something with a little satin in it as well so it looks more like a paint than a primer.

 

What color wheels does the car have? It would look mean all black.

 

that would be interesting to see a 350Z in rattle can black... if that's what you were doing

I like the original Daytona Blue that the 350Z comes in but I"m sure that's not what you want since it is a factory color. That darker blue looks just a shade lighter than the new Mariono(?) blue available this year on the 350.

All those colors look to be good choices. I like that candy red better thant he red Nissan has. Honestly, the lime green and the flat black are the only two I would not recomend

 

The wheels are flat black right now, but if I did the flat black paint, I would probably change them to gloss black.

 

lol, you and I think opposite. The green and flat black are two of my favorites. The candy apple red is second to the flat black though for me.

 

I vote for flat black.

 

Yep, I think I just made up my mind on the flat black. I keep going back to it for some reason and decided not to fight it anymore lol. Here's the final plan...

Flat black paint with a little bit of Satin in it so it looks like a paint and not a primer.

Wheels and exhaust (yes exhaust) powdercoated gloss black.

Calipers and harnesses stay bright red.

Everything else remains the same.

 

sweeeet thats going to look clean

 

you should spray can it black primer and throw on some 17" steel wheels. lol

 

I dunno, Ive alway liked the aston martin dark green

 

I say that lime green (i'm sorta partial to that color for some reason) with flat black highlights. If I have time today at work i'll ty to photochop some ideas for yas.

 

Nope, I have pretty much made up my mind. This is the only color scheme that I am getting excited about and am positive will look sick. The other colors might me liked more by the general public, but I am dead set on the flat black.

Satin (flat) black. Secondary color is gloss black. Secondary accents are red and carbon fiber. Thats it end of story lol. I am in love.

 

Hmmm...I dunno. I was not very impressed with all those flat painted cars at SEMA. I thought the Mercedes look like sh*t.

Maybe with a silver racing stripe or logos it might be ok.

I like British racing green as well but...you cannot beat Ferrari red for a racecar.

But whatever you choose, I am sure the car will look great.

 

With the flat colors, you either love it or you hate it. I happen to love it . I thought they all looked great and that CLS is easily one of my favorite cars I have layed eyes on.

 

British racing green is a good one. I wouldn't put it on a Japanese car out of principle though. Now when I get myself an Aston one day...

 

I don't like the deeper greens at all and think it would look totally horrible on a 350Z. The Aston Martin Racecar though is a different green than the traditional Aston Martin green.

 

Well ok Ty...your right. We should stay Japanese.

I vote for Subaru Racing Pink.

 

how about the green thats the same color as the online now button???

 

Too bright for my taste.
