Progress on my 240z

[a7dz]

Having just finished mine I understand the color choosing thing. Mine was easy both my brothers and my son said it has always been orange and it should stay orange. It is my favorite stock color on an early Z .

I love the orange on your 240Z Jim with those rare Keystone Rims?? I believe thats what you called them Looks awesome.

I should retract that 'completely stock' statement. I have Konig wheels on it already...so obviously its not going to be all stock. I'd even be happy driving it in primer if I could actually drive it.

Most colors look great on a Z, who am I kidding.

I agree, they all look good. My car was orange, then sloppily painted brown. I like the Datsun blue and plan to go with something close to that. DatsunZsrule sent me pics of his blue and I like it but may go with more silver in my blue. The point is I'm about ready to send to paint and don't have a color picked out yet! It would be nice to say do 110 and be done! Zak, post some pics soon!

As far as blues go, DatsunZsrule and user Kats have the nicest blues I've seen. The original blues (903 and 115) are ok, but not as nice as either of theirs. A blue with more silver in it sounds interesting, post some pics if you have any. Whatever you pick it'll look good on a Z.

Zak - An Ontario Z Car Club member has a totally restored 260Z painted blue with white interior, absolutely beautiful car... I think his name is Tom Malone (???) might be worth seeing if you could have a peek...

Just a thought...

Zac, you should paint it whatever your heart and the car are telling you what color it wants to be.

Heres my 'blue car', first in base coat, second after clear coat and in the sun.

ggarrard. I'm a member of the OZCC but I've never been to a meeting. Thought I'd wait till I can actually drive there in a Z.

Bonzi: That looks great. Nice color.

I'm gonna stick with the red. I'll appreciate it more knowing its got an original color. Its going to be painted inside too, so the only evidence of 918 orange will be under the headliner. I left that in because no way it was coming out in one piece.

Keep your Zed red! When I bought my 240Z -72 it was just painted red;

DuPont 190 Rosso Ferrari. What a coincidence - our Kimi Räikkönen has

a car of the same color...
