or even old school silver like this guy did ( omg I cant remember his name now! ) (sorry if your reading this)

basic SINGLE STAGE silver paint....not base clear

or a dark corvette blue pearl perhaps?

my work truck.....used to be a white truck...

Purple anyone?

but if you like orange....here are a couple....from JCCS i think...

Ran across 2 more colors....

Green....

Classic white

All of these are great. My 280Z I owned back in 1981 was orange and I really have a history with this color and liked it. I also like the toyota dark green along with the light blue.

I will be getting new window gaskets/seals and rear, front spoilers and body kit.

Then the painting begins.

I have removed the front and rear bumpers and ust curios of what is nomally done on the rear to cover?

Thanks for all of the options.

Thread I started back in Nov. I am ready to paint within the next month and have 90% decided on the orange Z color in jackboxxx reply above.

I need to know if this was an original z color and if so how to get the paint or what I need to do to identify.

Any help and comments would be appreciated.

That orange looks alot like what my old 260 was. It looked almost red in different light, original paint. it was the early 260z I think it was 918.

Could be code 110 (persimmon). Hard to say from the photo, computer monitors displaying colors as they do. I like #110 'cuz some people think it's red, others think it's orange. It's both really, depends on available light.

Does anyone else agree or think otherwise. This looks correct to me but just want to make sure. Also, out of my ignorance for painting does this need a certain type of finish coat? Just really like the look and want to match as close as possible.

Thanks grantf for the response.

Somehow the last post did not show on my screen. I will check out the 110 as well. Thanks.

I agree on the 110 Red. My 260Z is 110 and it's a great color, looks orange in the sun and red in the shade.
