ukcats07 11 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's time to paint the Z and I need some help from you guys regarding a color scheme I found on this Z. http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/130-0706-1971-datsun-240-z/ The article says it was painted Porsche atlas grey, but my eyes say it looks more like meteor grey. This post shows a comparison of the two colors. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-forum/688755-meteor-grey-vs-atlas-grey-what-s-the-diff-2.html Does anybody happen to know the Z in question? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G-Tech 4 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 they will both look sharp. the lighter color will be easier to keep clean. i say this cause i have had a black Z for a handful of years now and im ready for a lighter color. my truck is silver and looks great all the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neverdone 31 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 That's Mark Rolston's 240z. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I picked the metallic meteor gray with a metallic chrome silver for the stripes. I was able to see both in person and really like the combo. I hear ya with the dark paint...can never keep clean. That's Mark Rolston's 240z. I saw that in the article. I was hoping him or somebody who knows him was on the forums and could chime in to confirm my suspicions.

chiefmd 12 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just another option. I had my S2000 painted Ferrari Grigio Silvertone. Really looked good. I was thinking about painting mt 73 240Z the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neverdone 31 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I think there's one guy on here that knows of his whereabouts. Send a message to markrolston@mac.com. He'll probably know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ukcats07 11 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 It's been a while, but the car was painted. I haven't seen it in almost 5 years, but I'll be picking it up next month. Really looking forward to tearing it back apart and putting some finishing touches on my LM7 swap. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
