Mine had pinstipining! It was so freaken ugly!!! It was not original but who ever repainted it, painted it white with bright pink pinstrips and a little lightning thing on the side. The first 30 mins I had it home i took a grinder to it, all the way down the sides till there was no pink left! I felt much better after that!

<----My old 260Z (black one over here) had gold pinstriping (vinyl) on it when I bought it. Of course, that was 20 years ago, not TOO far out of the 70's when pinstriping was... cool? I hated it. First week I had the car, I got out a hairdryer to warm up the stuff and off it came. If you heat it up enough, it will peel off without ruining the paint. Believe it or not, I took the ENTIRE faux-woodpanel vinyl material off my old Jeep Grand Wagoneer using the same method. It took me a few weekends to do as the vinyl was REALLY in bad shape, but in the end, it looked great!. The only problem I had was that the paint underneath all of that vinyl was in better condition than the rest of the Wagon! LOL

I have pinstriping on mine. I buffed out the paint and lost the striping on the hood but it is still there on the sides. It looks ok, it is not too far from the color of the car so it is not too obvious. I plan on having the car painted in the next few years and will not have the pinstripe put back on. I do not think the old Z's look right with pin striping, they look more appropriate on a Caddy.

Don't much care for pin striping on the sides of the Z but I think it looks OK around the buldge on the hood. I guess pinstripes and flames really don't belong on the Z car.

If you look at a BP it does look kind of "busy" with all that striping.
