Kid-K Jr Posted May 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 1, 2010 Hey Guys, i'm stuck for ideas on what colour to paint my K? Keep in mind its a four door with no flares. ( i know, nothing flash.) I'm looking at Gun Metal Grey, Silver or a really dark Red. If you have any other suggestions on a colour just post a photo. I also have a set of Watanabes that will go on with the K once it's done and need a colour for them too. Any suggestions on which colour should go with which?

DeMoore Posted May 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Man, I like that silver, but something about that red really pops out at you. Maybe it's the nice shine. I see the gunmetal grey on A LOT of older repainted SUV's right now, for some reason, but that's also a great color. My vote is for the deep maroon.

Mr Camouflage Posted May 1, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 1, 2010 Don't like the dark red or the gray/silver, but it all comes down to personal choice, and what you think looks good. I'm partial to Dark Blue: and White: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35719-what-colour-for-my-k/#findComment-317871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMoore Posted May 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 1, 2010 The one in white looks good, but that blue reminds me of an old new yorker my dad used to drive. I guess it is just a matter of taste. When I'm done with my resto, I'm going with Mitsubishi Sunset Pearlescent, or something a bit darker. I don't even like the color orange, but somehow I think it would look great on the Z. Kid K, from the looks of your options, I would say you've got good taste and will make a great choice either way, even if it isn't one of those 3 colors.

Kid-K Jr Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted May 2, 2010 I'm not too sure on the blue and my uncles got a white one so if i paint it white i'll never hear the end of it. I also stumbled upon some other photos that i didn't mind.

ovenfood Posted May 4, 2010 Share #6 Posted May 4, 2010 i think that 3rd pic is more of a purple and i think its very nice, however id be partial to a white without the gloss finish like a satin finish just because my 4door looks wicked in faded white and 280zx series 1 rims :> Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35719-what-colour-for-my-k/#findComment-318281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree orange looks good on a Z though. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35719-what-colour-for-my-k/#findComment-318297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonkey Posted May 4, 2010 Share #9 Posted May 4, 2010 I like red but dark blue sounds better to me. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35719-what-colour-for-my-k/#findComment-318301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid-K Jr Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted May 5, 2010 Dark blue is okay but not the metallic baby blue that the k's originally came out with. Im starting to lean towards the Green and The Gun metal but still not to sure.

Yamahacam Posted February 9, 2013 Share #12 Posted February 9, 2013 Did the 240k sedan come out black as an original colour and did it have gold striping? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35719-what-colour-for-my-k/#findComment-414382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
