NgoZ Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 That olive color would look sweet in metallic. Have you checked out metallic orange? If your are planning to do it yourself, you could save a ton of money. Me and a good buddy painted his car and did all the minor body work in my carport in 2 weekends. Primer, color, clear + knick knack junk cost us about $1500 or less. The tools we bought cost us a bit less, but we planned on doing 3 more cars in the next few years to offset that price.

TimZ Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) I've got a Mustang in "Gotta Have it Green", and I've been thinking that it would look great on a Z with black wheels and trim... Edited October 26, 2013 by TimZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie 1979 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 HOK Sunrise Pearl, if you don't I will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Dark grey. Check out SunnyZ. It doesn't show dirt, contrasts well with both silver/chrome and black. Looks good with red items too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkie Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 HOK Sunrise Pearl, if you don't I will Wow that's a nice colour.. wonder how it would look on a Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb3562 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I took this pic of a 2014 civic. Most beautiful color I've ever seen. This pic doesn't do justice to how it stands in the sunlight. Its blue/teal depending on the flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofouroh Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Look for 307 Pacific Blue. My '74s original (and next) color. It was the Nissan version of Daytona Blue, which is pretty much what that civic color is. Also, the 303 Green Metallic for the 260-280 Z is incredible too. I bought a tool storage lid out of a junker just to have an example of that emerald green. Paint codes with pics that aren't super accurate - but it's better than nothing. http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html Edited November 13, 2013 by twofouroh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
