You know I would have to say "Red", but that's a given. Anyway, when the 350Z first came out, there was this color which was kind of maroonish/brownish. Was it called Brickyard? That would look great on an early Z. I think Nissan only offered that color one year. But that "Lemans Sunset" is blindingly beautiful.

In the next week or so (hopefully) I'll be posting pictures of my '72 240Z sporting a nice new paint job. The color I've decided to go with is something I've seen on Mini Cooper's recently called "Electric Blue Pearl Metallic". The first time I saw it I knew it was the color for me. Here's what it looks like on the Mini:

From your selection i chose red for obvious reasons but i agree with 2manyZs I like that shade of blue looks great on Z's. I think i'd like either that color or bright yellow if I was to paint my Z any color other than Red. Green can look cool also :)

If it were my car I would paint it the original orange. It is a great color for a Z. The other colors talked about would look great, but there is always a certain satisfaction by being able to say that you have the original paint color. If you were to paint it a different color red would look awesome, but 920 gold would look better.
