Posted March 23, 200421 yr comment_73906 My paint color! My 1972 240z has a STUPENDOUS spray-can yellow paint job, and it just has to go. I'll be replacing the floorpans, having a new lower rear panel put on, and replacing the rear bumper...so hell, why not add a coat of nice, shiny paint. Cast your votes!!!

March 23, 200421 yr comment_73911 The new 350Z Metallic Orange! One of the members here, and I apologize for not remembering whom, has it on his avatar.

March 23, 200421 yr comment_73917 Sorry, but I'd go with the factory orange. The first Z I fell in love with (my dad's) was orange and so is mine. They just need a new paint job, but it looks good when the paint is fresh.

March 23, 200421 yr comment_73919 You know I would have to say "Red", but that's a given. Anyway, when the 350Z first came out, there was this color which was kind of maroonish/brownish. Was it called Brickyard? That would look great on an early Z. I think Nissan only offered that color one year. But that "Lemans Sunset" is blindingly beautiful.Vicky Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10888-its-time-to-choose/#findComment-73919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 23, 200421 yr comment_73921 In the next week or so (hopefully) I'll be posting pictures of my '72 240Z sporting a nice new paint job. The color I've decided to go with is something I've seen on Mini Cooper's recently called "Electric Blue Pearl Metallic". The first time I saw it I knew it was the color for me. Here's what it looks like on the Mini:http://my.execpc.com/47/96/amyrae/mini%20site/graphix/electric%20blue%20large.jpg Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10888-its-time-to-choose/#findComment-73921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 23, 200421 yr comment_73935 Does anyone know if the new "lemans sunset" color on the '04 350Z the same as the orange on the '03 350Z? the lemans seems a bit lighter to me. Anyway, my vote would be for the lemans sunset or its potentially darker predecessor of the 2003 350Z.-Ty Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10888-its-time-to-choose/#findComment-73935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 23, 200421 yr comment_73936 I like the Intense Blue on my pickup, but since so many people have been painting their Z's blue lately, I think I'm going to go with either 920 Gold, or, a new Grey Pearl that Dodge has.... Here's the Intense Blue.. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10888-its-time-to-choose/#findComment-73936 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 25, 200421 yr comment_74318 From your selection i chose red for obvious reasons but i agree with 2manyZs I like that shade of blue looks great on Z's. I think i'd like either that color or bright yellow if I was to paint my Z any color other than Red. Green can look cool also Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10888-its-time-to-choose/#findComment-74318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 25, 200421 yr comment_74319 Why don't you try Photoshop for changing the color of your car that can give you an idea maybe not a great idea but an idea.

March 25, 200421 yr comment_74324 If it were my car I would paint it the original orange. It is a great color for a Z. The other colors talked about would look great, but there is always a certain satisfaction by being able to say that you have the original paint color. If you were to paint it a different color red would look awesome, but 920 gold would look better. -Ben Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10888-its-time-to-choose/#findComment-74324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
