Stock 240Z Steel Wheel Color
Inline, the back is OEM factory silver and in great shape so no need to repaint. The front needed repaint so had the front media blasted and put on 2 coats of 2K hot rod satin black, then 2 coats of the of the 2K clear matte, and waited 30 minutes between all coats to flash. The satin was a little too glossy so the clear matte gave it the perfect matte black finish. Spray max doesn’t make 2k “matte black”. At one time, I did have my local auto paint store mix the silver wheel paint for me to paint a splash pan. That silver nicely approximates the factory silver for the OEM original splash pan color as shown in this picture.

I have this early steel wheel and needed a spare tire to replace my NOS original Superspeed Radial-20 in the spare well for daily driving. So, knowing “matte Black” is the correct shade, and for those burdened with the need for originality, I wanted to share my results compared with my NOS original spare. I used two coats each of the black and clear products as shown. Love the 2K catalyzed paint, which yields a professional, easy to use, finish.- Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883

bluez, you are totally correct. I took the liberty of adding this decal to represent that this grapefruit alternator had been professionally restored. I, also, install the later plastic radiator fan when not showing the car as the original metal fan was prone to water pump failure due to it’s weight, and reproduced the emissions decal that wasn’t available after market in correct form.

Thanks for the very much appreciated compliments inline6. The valve cover and carb dome finishes are OEM. And Captain, I assume the “nits” were directed at my picture. The fuel pump, see attached pic, is indeed a NOS Nikki pump, and I also included a pic of the master cylinders. inline, not trying to hijack space as the work you have done on your car is truly amazing.

The hole in the inner corner of the hatch is a drain and needs nothing. Picture of hatch hinges may be of help as my car is a total stock restoration.- One Owner 1970 Blue/Blue

$150,000 to $175,000!- 12/70 original spare tire - DOT 149
As a point of interest, thought I would add a picture of my NOS 11 - 70 spare tire. Since my 1/71 series 1 car was delivered new at the dealership with dish mags, I was fortunate to find a set of 11 - 70 wheels with their D hubcaps, and then this 11 - 70 spare. I think these wheels dated 11/70 are dated close enough that they could have been original equipment on my 1/71 car.- Original wheel color for 72 rims
