280Zone Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 What color is your interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TKR514 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Any color will look good as long as the body is in great shape. The same is true in fashion modeling (i.e. a georgeous woman can make jeans and a t-shirt look fantastic!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twofortez Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 How about the old Mopar green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 The interior is black. I like the Mopar Green...maybe with two big black stripes across top???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twofortez Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 How about Mopar green with a semi-flat black horizontal stripe across the quarters and hatch ....like the old Super Bee "look" !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 240hybrid Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I always thought a dark silvery color would look nice. Or a charcoal gray. I agree tennis ball green isnt that appealling to me neither. good luck with your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 240hybrid Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 yeah I always liked that dark gray look thats on your Z twofortez. Dont see it very often. Nice choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Pearl metallic silver would be awsome but what the heck I'm the one who painted my Z ultra violet metallic with a hint of pearl! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 i never liked green but that british racing green is just out of this world. if i had two z's one of them would be that color but since i have only one i am going with house of color orange.

flibuoy Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 What color is like asking if someone likes soup.. But...since you asked...I like the silvers, light and dark on new 350Z and think the darker would be great. My wife says no silver or grey and I can't get her to leave. I am torn between the new Ford deep metallic red, (ditto Mazda) and the and the new BMW metallic blueish green. True, BRG (British racing green) is timeless and have never seen it look bad on a car. BMW racing orange is a great color for Z ....was (is?) one in Dallas area that was massaged a bit and looked great with black center mesh wheels. But somebody above said if Z is straight and done well then ANY color works. Bon appetite john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zpeed Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 I'm going r34 tommy keira R Nismo Blue, car will be in shop in march... so hoping to go all well and good which is very simliar to the 350z blue, but has a slight pearl thou it and is a tad darker.. will look killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 About the time I joined here there was a guy that had big beutiful shots of his 260 painted Viper blue with white stripes. Sadly, his site is no longer up. Knew I wanted a blue. After looking at scores of different blues I just couldn't get that car out of my mind. It's really just a deep rich blue with extra metalic in it but it is stunning. With those huge rear fenders it should look nice. Wifey refuses to let me put stripes on it though.

Guest Anonymous Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 When you say "Tennis Ball Green", do you mean the Lime Yellow used on 1972-1973 240Z's? If so, that seems a dying color as everyone changes it. Most Z people know (and somehow learn to like with time) that color, but you see it less and less. I should send you pics of mine with a side body stripe and a few things done to the car....the "oddness" of that color actually can be an asset if done right....very retro!

Chris-280ZX Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 wonder what the orange thats on the new Z would look like on a 240 or 280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 House of Kolor “Kandy Organic Green�? that is what i went with. http://www.rb26dett.freeservers.com/images/z-siderb.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280Tom'z Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 yea that organic green made me rethink going with a dark met. blue but i change the color i want between blue,green,blk,and gunmetal like i change my pants but it just depends on what your going for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Thanks for all the feedback guys! Not sure if this makes it easier or harder??? I now have more options that I didn't think of before. I like the Viper Blue w/White stripes and House of Color Orange....I would also love to see pictures of FordZ8's car, still open to that idea. You guys rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
