Need help picking color 1978 280Z

[rickl750]

Hi guys,

I’m about finished with the body work on my 1978 280Z 2+2 and I’m loosing sleep over what color to paint her. Guys, I need your help in choosing a color, I’ve posted three pictures of the colors I’m considering and most likely I will go with racing stripes in a dark gray like graphite except on the silver/gray, I’ll use white or a lighter shade of the same color.

 

Thanks,

 

Rick

I wanted to change the silver button to grey - no luck

I voted silver for the ease of keeping it clean looking. Darker colors always look dirty, and create alot more summer heat while sitting in a parking lot.

I like the red only without the stripes.

Here is an amazing example of a silver s30 with racing stripes. I think a paint job like that would look great.

I think I've given up on the blue but still considering the silver and red. My issue is that I see allot of nice reds but can't find the code or name. Here's one that I'm considering. If anybody has any reds I should look at please feel free to show me.

 

Thanks

I was VERY impressed with this red when I saw a Lexus IS350 at the dealership in this color. The picture does not do justice at all, and it's not as light of a red as it looks here. It's called Matador Red Mica.

I'm going for good old Torch Red.
