MrFurious Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 All I can say is I hope I have you're dedication and attention to detail when I start tearing into my Z. As for selecting a paint color I have the same problem you do. I like the darks and I like the brights, so I'm not looking forward to that day either. I will say though that the gunmetal grey is one of my favorites, and with a little metallic or pearl it will really pop. As for whoever it was that said green, I never thought I'd say it but I saw a really hot green recently. It's a lime'ish florescent green color (factory Lamborghini color). Friend of mine just painted his car (well, it's kind of a car...I guess) that color with a very subtle pearl yellow and it's an eye catcher. This pic doesn't do it justice, but it will give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 As for whoever it was that said green' date=' [/quote'] this is the green i had mentioned. sorta. it's just a rough photoshop, but whatever. dont mind the wheels. didnt bother changing the light on them cause i didnt like them anyways, but i lost the PSD file so i dont wanna edit it agian. and heres a pic of a skyline i did the same thing to. i like the R34 skyline one better.

Careless Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 i tried to get a bit of a goldish hue ontop of the green, as that is what the colour of the specially made pinstripes i will be putting on my car will have =) when i find a damn car! grrrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 As for whoever it was that said green... That might have me on page 10 or something, saying: Green is totally and utterly out of the question I'm afraid : ) My ex kept nagging me about British racing green and such' date=' so I'd rather paint it pink if I had to choose between those two.[/quote'] So: STOP WITH THE GREEN already. I don't mind thread jacking to a certain extent, but when it comes to suggesting a bunch of green paints for my Z when I've stated that green is not a valid suggestion... Noooo! : ) I don't mean to sound as if I've sat on a cactus or anything.... Cheers : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DspecDJ Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 My vote for color goes to silver, kind of a darker charcoal silver sort of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I don't mean to sound as if I've sat on a cactus or anything.... Being in Sweden, I think that is a very difficult thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slow_Zed Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I too am about to walk the same line here in Aus... BUT NO GREEN MULL truly an inspiration. I get my 240 on Monday, with almost as must rust as you, but the bonus is that i have seen the car, and know what im up for. I built a 510 (1600) last year which is good fun but i want more. Best of luck with the rest of the build, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck with the rest of the build, [/quote'] Oh, I love the 510's! : ) Would love to get my hands on one of those after this built. Either one of those or a nice old Skyline (KPGC10) ... Thanks, and the best of luck to you killing that rust! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 From one thing to another. If you like the project and the videos, or maybe just me *wink* - you might be interested in sponsoring the 240z-progress? I've just managed to set up a Paypal donation... Thingy. There are no set amounts, so you can pretty much donate whatever you feel like. I have no idea if it works - so let me know if you drop a quarter into my virtual guitar case as I'm standing here on the digital pavement singing my songs about how the 240z will rock. Cheers! : ) Donate here -click- ! (look for the Newsflash post-it) : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_fb Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This color would be nice on your Z! Any that could put on 2 or 3 colors on a Z wit photoshop? Like candy red on top and black at bottom of car or mix some other colors? Have been trying with purple and black but I suck at photoshop http://212.214.223.230/shop/catalog/default.php?cPath=44&osCsid=92cc0b8fa1d2b95e9b3838d68d116073 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mull Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 I hit you with a few.... not much' date=' but enjoy..... ~joel[/quote'] Thanks man : ) I really appreciate it. Especially since I'm in the market for a new job. Cashflow is pretty much one way at the moment - out. Not complaining though, good things come to those who treat their Z's right? : ) Cheers!
