ZR8ED Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hey guys. Someone on this board was talking about some of the cool colours some Z have been painted. Not the usual black or red or blue, but some of those retro colours ie mustard/orange, pee green, pale blues, browns etc.. It got me really thinking of my next Z. I'd like to have a more stock looking Z that has a non modern looking paint colour. Anyone have some links to Z pages with these unusual paint colours? Thanks Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdsk8r Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 My ZX is the stock Mahogany Brown. In fact, it still has the original paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXRockie Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I would like to see some of the motoring paint jobs... old school... I have seen a lots of 510 with the two color conbination and the side diagonal stripes with Datsun right in the middle. I would get you some Color codes from the book in the shop... I want to get some ideas, I just got a 260Z and I'm selling My 79 ZX... Any buyers...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280Zone Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 The paint idea is older than my car though. http://www.desertzassociation.com/membersrides/Robert/75z/pic/pic8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZXRockie Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 What about the "BRE 240Z"? does anyone have the measurement or dimension of the striping? I think you can go retro by doing this desing and you can still use new colors. thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallicar Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Don't forget me too! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=95051&page=1&pp=10 trying to be modest, but the green is looking good. It actually makes grown men giggle when the look into the spray room and see it. I think that is a good sign anyway. I did decide to go with satin black instead of flat for all of the trim and hood. The hatch is now very green (well as very green as the rest of the car). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I was going to reshoot the silver and flat black the hood bulge and rockers and separate them with an orange tape stripe after the March meet when I remembered I have some dark charcoal metalflake left over. Consider a black metalflake just to be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
