Hi guys, mine is a 77 280z

the original color is this blue and the second owner had it yellow. I need to go back to the original as all inside and engine bay is still blue and I like this color too.

door and engine plates are too faded to tell anything. Is there any other place to look for paint code. Can someone help me identify this color.

Should be a paint code on top of the radiator support, passenger side

I'm pretty sure that's the same as my '77. #305 metallic blue.

Thanks for sharing the picture. I have the same feeling. It is definitely light blue and not dark blue. #305 Light Blue Metallic it is then. I have decided to go back to the original.

Will post pics once I am through paint. Next step I am planning blasting door hinge areas and taking care of cowl area surface rust which has been a pain.

These guys have the 305. Will be ordering a sample.
