mattyice Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 After thinking about it ive decided to go with a different color other then black, i want something that around here is original, and i wont see on another car, so ive come up with these choices, and i need some members of the Z community to help...My personal favorites that i really cant choose between are Midnight Purple II and Midnight Purple III (both were skyline metallic limited edition paint colors) as you can see above in the poll my choices are... Midnight Purple Midnight Purple III Sparkling Graphite Metallic Monaco Blue Metallic Imperial Jade Mica Carmona Red Metallic Basalt Black Metallic So what do you guys think?

Gareth Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 For the Z, I'd go with the Midnight Purple II or Imperial Jade Mica. By the way, do you know what's the paint code of the R33 purple? It looks BRILLIANT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyice Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 LP2 (R33)Midnight Purple (no Chromalusion, has 2 pearl tinters Violet & Red) LV4 (R34)Midnight Purple II (Chromalusion Tinter KK760 Absolute Purplene & Vilot Pearl) LXO (R34)Midnight Purple III (Chromalusion Tinter KK700 True Blazberry Prizm & 2 pearls red & Violet) the midnight purple on the R33 is standard midnight purple, that is my mistake, above is what makes the midnight purples look so good and why they were so rare i believe only 400 total cars were shot with midnight purple 3, but at the same time only 100 supras were sprayed with imperial jade mica I want to shoot it in midnight purple because i think its the most incredible color and would look awesome on the retro car, and if im going RB26DETT i have to match the paint code hahaha, but at the same time all of those colors would look incredible on a 71 widebody 240Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yeah, the Jade Mica is awesome. Between the two purples I'd go with II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks Mattyice, much appreciated. I got confused - what paint does the R33 from the pic have? Is it the factory color, or the R34 Midnight Purple II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyZ Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I love that red! That would look great with some black wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam393 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I think Midnight II looks the best In close second, IJM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyice Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 i really like that red, but the problem is that i want a darker red then that its a close race between imperial jade mica, midnight purple, and carmona red metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
