Exterior Paint Color

Recommended Posts

Ok, I know immediately that I am going to get blasted for this post. Getting ready to have my 76 280Z painted and I know that no one can tell you what color to paint your car. The car is completely stock but I am not sold on going back to the original color which was green.

I am leaning towards a shade of orange but go back and forth. My friend is suggesting painting like a budlight beer can, light blue with grey and red strip.

I am looking for a color that makes a statement but not like other cars on the road.

If you have any suggestion I would appreciate and if so photos would be nice.

Also, I am considering a body kit with both front and rear spoilers and side pieces. There goes my stock car. Any suggestions?

Interior is black.

bhermes,

Have you looked at the cars posted in the Garage section? You can look at a lot of different cars and see what different colors look like. How much of the car are you going to be able to paint? Is this a complete paint job, inside and out? or are you just repainting the exterior? When you change the color there are a lot of potential places where you may notice the change in color (under the hood?

No, I have not looked in the garage section. Not even sure what is there but I will look now. I will be painting as much as possible and hopefully everything. Not sure what needs to be done to be able to paint inside the engine area but will want to get everything painted. I have a few good people that are going to help paint the car at a good price ($2000). The car is currently white with blue racing strips (poor job) with some of the insides green and some red.

Thanks.
