Paint Code

Hi,

how do I find out the color of my 1983 280zx

Pop the hood, look just to the right of the radiator cap (passenger side) on the radiator support crossmember. There should be a sticker there giving you your three digit paint code.

If not, just post a good photo of your paint. If you choose this method, go for a section of the car that rarely sees sunlight, like the spare tire wheel well.

FWIW

According to the site I use for paint codes, that color is called Cadet Blue Metallic

My car is a two-tone Black and Silver. Black hood, silver side stripe. Paint Code is gone. Any idea what the paint code is on that?

That website has a black, listed as Thunder Black, code 505.

What car is that? In your profile it says 74 260Z and there were no black Zs until the 78 BPE.
