icapture Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm sure most of us have seen this Z on flickr before, but I have always been fond of this color. Its kinda looks like the factory broze/brown but with a touch of "look at me" with the gold added into it. I am still a while from painting my Z (Suspension, brakes, seats, ect are all above paint on the list) but I always like to keep it in the back of my mind. I have seen a cool gold on the top secret cars before, but this Z for whatever reason looks like it has more orange in it. The top secret cars look almost pure gold. As of right now its either a color like this: Or something off white. I'm not a huge fan of white cars, but I think older Japanese sport cars look great dressed in it.

MONGO510 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I had a "69" RoadRunner that was almost identical in color. It was called "Bronze Fire Irridescent". Great color! Mongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 It's probably this color. This is Joe's car, RAGS just back from paint jail. 350Z paint code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Keep in mind that the mercury vapor lights (parking lot lights) REALLY change the way a color on a car looks. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yup, that's what I was thinking. It looks better in that lighting, but is likely the same as the 350Z color. That's common practice in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightywhitey185 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I know for sure this color isnt a nissan color.Im willing to wager that it is sunset gold.Sorry guys but this is a ford color.Or damn close to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightywhitey185 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I should have done this.......sorry.I would challenge someone to find a closer match.Then again id would say that just about any major auto manufacturer will or did have a color chip in their linup that you could perhaps match to this.

piston Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) this is very very close to the same color i was going to paint my z before the 09 gtr grey metalic. i found out how much the price was for just the paint itself, i almost crap in my pants. almost $400.00 a quart if i recall from sherwin williams. the color i found was from the 09-10 toyota's. very rare on some models only. call SUNDANCE METALLIC. i went to look at one of these at the dealers to check out the color and it changes with shadows from all angles and glow like crazy in the sunlight with shadows. sick... winner winner winner.

tightywhitey185 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ahhh well played.That very well could be the one.The color on that z is moderatly yellow tho.I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palosfv3 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 The color in question appears to be a Kandy Gold . More than likely a House of Colors paint. Based in a silver or gold with a semitransparent gold mid coat and then cleared. Pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 its a factory toyota color. i can get you the color code if interested. however you can call the parts guy and also ask for the factory code # for sundance metallic. the pic of the z is a professional finish so its hard to match it up dead on. the color looks metallic but is not, its more of a mica color without the metallic flakes. the color of the z in the pic looks a bit more solid but its under a nice light so its hard to say. the color can be sprayed on base and clear, no mid.
