ModernS30 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was looking around and didn't find any pictures. I honestly wonder if it would look good. I like the Panda AE86. Seen a panda FC RX7, looked alright. Do you think it would look good on an S30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Oh god haha For the people born before 1990: "Panda" means a black hood on a white car I think I've seen a picture of one, maybe Lex's S30? Pictures of Flatty a long time ago Found this on google. Those wheels look they came off a Honda. Old school Panda!!

Around here, Panda is just a black hood. :shrug: My roommate's "Panda" MKIII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Mat, I think he means horizontal two tone. That would be what I meant. Really not sure if it would look right or not. Just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at-jefft Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Well this sheds light on why the PO of my car felt the need to spray paint over perfectly good paint on my hood/hatch. probably would have looked decent if it was actually automotive paint and wasn't about as rough as 80grit.

Guest catch me if you can Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 why doesn't someone just take 1 of the pics from above or another good quality pic of a Z and photoshop it? It ain't that hard... there's plenty of people on here with the program knowledge to whip something up within a few min or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catch me if you can Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 No black hood, but close enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) No black hood, but close enough... Eh, Black is to high up I think. Plus it doesn't have the stripe. I am not very skilled with photo shop, plus I do not have the program. The Panda 7. Edited May 19, 2010 by ModernS30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catch me if you can Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) I'm no photoshop expert either... so here's a quick lil crappy example I did using paint to give you the basic idea. This car has a g-nose, zg flares and a bre hatch spoiler, which I've obviously made so black it looks funny, but you get the point. Version 1 - white roof Version 2 - black roof (not entirely black roof though, the hatch would be black and the black would follow the hatch vertical lines across the roof, which would leave some white on the roof as well along the sides as shown). I really like version 2, looks like a decent paint scheme if I don't say so myself. If I ever have a second Z, I might actually consider doing something like this now that I've designed it all out. This something along the lines of what you're wanting to see? Edited May 19, 2010 by catch me if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This something along the lines of what you're wanting to see? Thats perfect. I personally like Version 1. I think if I do it and then make the little extra black line above it it would look pretty decent. Maybe just on the door and then make the back a solid black as well as the front. I thought the Panda 7 was the closest example to any car that wasn't an AE86 that was panda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 John only one of your images seems to be working. Interesting, Fiat huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I personally think it would be difficult to execute properly on the Z. 70s cars don't seem to have as suitable body lines as the 80s cars do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveSeventyZee Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Eh, not the best photoshop but it gets the idea across. I agree, the body lines of the 70's s30 are nowhere near as hard and sharp as a mid 80's japanese car and look odd with this paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misturmoneybags Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 A white S30 with black stock 240Z vinyls on the sides, black (or CF) ZG fenders, black (or CF) hood, and a black (or CF) BRE spoiler would look pretty mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators BRAAP Posted May 26, 2010 Administrators Share Posted May 26, 2010 I am think the Panda look/style is more than just a black hood on a white car. Something like a 25-40% percentage of black to white body panels, (or any two colors for that matter), sort like a Panda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
