What do you guys think VICTORY RED 240z?

[wickiewicked240z]

Just wanted to ask you guys for opinions on the color victory red

heres a picture on the corvette im going to order paint tomorrow would a gallon do it plus clear coat. Should i go with a metallic red

[240hoke]

Too orange for my taste. But I dont like flashy colors to begin with they beckin for attention... and tickets. I think color is something you have to decide for yourself though If you like it go with it. Choosing paint is one of hte hardest htings you can pick out on a car haha especially when you sit down in front of a couple color books.

 

 

Anyway though you cant loose Z's look good any color from puke green to poo brown. Heck I think they even came from the factory in those colors

I used to know a guy with a red 240z (but I don't know the specific shade), and it was the only car I've ever liked in red. I think the usual sports car colors like red, yellow, and so on are a bit played out. I like white, or charcoal, or even british racing green, since they let the car speak for itself without the eye catching paint.

red z are the best. imho. id like to see a blood red z

[Guest Death69]

 

not the exact color i like but very close. everybody loves a red z

[2003z]

although the picture makes it look orange, victory red actually is a true bright red without any orange. Another good red is redline from the 350z.

[Guest Death69]

Sorry if the pic is big, but thats a close up of victory red

[Careless]

might i add that colour correction and consistency is far from equal when comparing colours to eachothers monitors.

 

i invite you guys to make something using a print program, and go to a printer to have it output.

 

if you're one of the lucky few billion users who don't have colour corrected monitors, feel free to post your results.

This is how a Z looks in Viper Red, in the sun it looks more orange, especially when parked next to a real red car.

[viperredls1z]

BTW that is the same car.

I finally picked a color called Graphic Red. i believe the paint was by national standard.. its been replaced by something else though. I picked this because i wanted a red that didnt have that orange look to it in sunlight.. took me 5 paint chips and the guy let me have corresponding test paint in 1/4 oz airbrush pipettes so i could spray and check in sunlight.. the paint looked way to light and odd until it was actually on the car...its kinda strange how the shape of the car can make the paint seem different..

heres one of the better sunlight pics i have of my 280zx that was as close to the corvette red that i wanted.

Torch red here.... BTW, is a Vette color.

Torch red here.... BTW, is a Vette color.

actually torch red is more orange to it. im looking at a 2006 ppg paint chip book the velocity red is more dark and the viper red also has some orange to it..

 

heres some pictures of my 1993 240sx that i sold at the begining of the year I had it painted PORSCHE RED in the sun it had some orange to it but in the dark it was red

[Careless]

look into Impreza red on the 2005 subaru.

 

it is as RED as you will get, and it's quite nice. i wish more people would buy red imprezas

[2003z]

did you check out 350z redline?

[cygnusx1]

You cant go wrong with classic Ferrari red "Rosso Corsa" or Porsche Gaurds Red. Either one is hot. I prefer the less orange, Ferrari red.

 

Red Z's look VERY nice when you also black out all the chrome and steel trim.

 

 

I do color calibrate my monitor.

I was looking for a red color a few years ago and looked at them all. Viper Red stood out by far and, in person, had the most quality look. IMHO I don't think anything else comes close.

[Sparky]

My old 240 was painted Viper Red;

 

 

 

I was never a big fan of red Z cars until I bought that one. Once I had it all cleaned up and shiny I fell in love with the colour...it suits the Z well, but as Austin said earlier...there are not many colours that don't.

[BayAreaZT]

Sparky, I felt the same way about red cars until I bought mine. Red just looks good on a S30. If I re-paint mine red I'll go with Rosso Corsa, (gotta love the name "race red"), or guards red.

[wickiewicked240z]

Well i got the famous quote for the 2 gallons victory red 1 gallon of clear and the other stuff need,reducer,catalyst ect...........$1442.00 damnnnnnnnnnnn alot of money so im switching to white for cheap for about $238 a gallon and $500 and something dollars1 for red. I think im for the white that comes in the subaru wrx i think its called pure white or frost white do you guys know.

 

thanks PLEASE POST ANY WHITE COLORS "BRIGHT WHITES"
