Drftn280zxt Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I'd like to see a blue similar to Daytona blue but with a slightly larger flake, a lighter hue, and some pearlescent mixed in, and on top of that a nice translucent coat of candy blue in the same hue. I am very favoritized to Blue/Black/Silver color combos though. It is a very clean look that can grab attention but not be overwhelming. Just my .02.

Guest Z Draci Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 My personal opinion is that a silverish color really brings out the body curves in the S30. I have a frosty silver on mine and it looks sexy along with its curvy chrome bumpers. Silver is the most popular color for cars. When I get the time and money to paint my car, I'd go with Lamborghini Titanium Grey. Who would pay the money for Lamborghini paint for their Z anyways? LOL I was also thinking about matching the color of the gunmetal grey Esprit so that it'll look nice sitting alongside it. A couple people have asked Maserati to do their Quattroporte's exterior/interior the same exact color as their 550's--blue paint with classy brown leather. It's always nice to see two completely different cars in your garage with the same colors. I'd go with a color that gives stark contrast along the lines and shadows. The S30 has lines that are there to be appreciated. Other solid colors tend to blur it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 How about something purple-ish or more of a burgundy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorreia Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 For a few years Acura had a limited edition color for the Integra's, Supersonic Blue Pearl. It is similar to the Electron Blue used on the Civic's, and whatever metallic blue is used on the Viper. SSBP has more of a purple tint to it though, and it changes colors based on the light. Park it under a metal-halide parking light and it looks like it is glowing. It direct sunlight it looks blue. When I had my Integra I got comments constantly on how good that color looked.

pjo046 Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 Well, the interior of my car will be black, with white autometer gauges, and red 4-point Saabelt harnesses. I want to tint the hatch- and sidewindows a bit, but not too much. The rims have a bright silver face, and a polished outer lip. Furthermore, I want the car clean, so no racing stripes or graphics.

Deep Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My $0.02, go with a subdued colour that doesn't scream attention whore, but that is slick enough for people to comment "I never thought that could look so good..." Something along the lines of Honda's Championship White with the afore mentioned BMW Steel Grey for the tail panel and wheels, monochrome, smooth, clean and a little oldschool meets high-tech. For extra points, replace the the front and rear turn signals with somthing more flush mounted and delete all emblems except the 'Z' on the b-pillars. If you've got a good profile pic of your car, I'll 'chop it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelgianZ Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi, I'm also thinking of repainting my 1972 240Z. I was completely amazed by what Mr. Miyahara did with his 240Z(G). It has three shades of champagne color: body/flares+back end/front bumper. Q: Is it not-done to copy this or should I only care about what I like? Q: Is there any possibility to find out what the colour codes of this beautiful car are? Tell me what you think and I'd suggest to keep uploading car with great color schemes!

pjo046 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Are there anyone here who is good with photoshop or similar programs? If so, could you take a picture of a 240Z, and change the color to BMW steel grey, and add Konig Imagine wheels? And leave the bumpers chromed. That would be really great!! Had I been better at photoshop, I would have done it myself. If someone does this for me, could you also shave away the antenna, and lower the car. It would need to be a picture with a msa airdam in the front. I would be really thankful!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjo046 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 anyone knows the complete colorcode for BMW steel grey? The color that is on the pictures of the Subaru on the first page of this thread. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaconsultants Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I did a few interesting combinations in the past that looked really good. White with a gold pearl where the sun catches it just right it looks like you have gold highlights. Viper Silver with a Gold pearl. This one is really hard to describe but it was really nice looking. The Viper Silver is already very nice but adding a shot of gold pearl and a few coats of clear on top gives it such a deep pewterish color that it seems like it is deep and really wet. It almost appears as if you are looking into like about 1/2" of paint or more and trying to find the bottom. Also with different lights it almost gave a slight brown metalic glow to the car. This was on a viper 1998 so it was a bit easier. One I thought would be interesting if you like red is to paint the car red and do a blue metalic pearl and some clear on top. From what it should turn out is that you have a very bright red car in real bright sun with hints of purple glow and when the light is not so bright it should have a red purple look to it. Pearls are an interesting way to add some spice to the paint that make it stand out from the standard and common paints. good luck on figuring it out. I know my wife will be the one to select the color when we are ready to paint ours so my part is easier. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
