What color should I paint my new 240sx? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Farzam · 11-25-2006, 09:16 PM

Going to pick it up tomorrow hopefully.
Blue interior, 89 fastback,

all JDM primer ATM.

I don't know what to get.
I want something NICE looking.
But nothing that'll get a cop's attention.
And I want a black roof.

Please give me input ASAP, it'll be in the paint booth very soon.

koukimonster139 · 11-25-2006, 09:59 PM

silver moss/ black roof
do it now.
primer = fail

Farzam · 11-25-2006, 10:56 PM

If I can get door jambs/pay painted for $100 extra somehow, I was thinking about silver moss.

Keep the opinions coming y0!

And if anyone has a picture of a nice Silver Moss s13 FB, please post(I can imagine it but a pic won't hurt much).

Anto · 11-25-2006, 11:00 PM

koukimonster139 · 11-25-2006, 11:01 PM

IMO it's a little too plain/too many. I'm looking for a more original color.

Good for you, gtfo.

Nah, jk. I'm drinking.

I looked up silver moss on google the other day and it took me to all these NICO(ugh) threads and none of the cars were actually silver moss, unless silver moss changed. Seriously, they posted up at least 10 different types of silver and then there was 1 actual silver moss car.

koukimonster139 · 11-25-2006, 11:21 PM

right on. wellp thats the real deal.

Farzam · 11-25-2006, 11:25 PM

I was thinking about Lambo orange, and getting lambo doors too dawg...lolz.

Maybe Adriatic blue.
It'd match the interior kinda...

enen11 · 11-26-2006, 12:19 AM

black roof's are tacky as fuck

yokotas13 · 11-26-2006, 12:25 AM

go 2 tone
shits hott

ayuaddict · 11-26-2006, 12:34 AM

if by two tone you mean black roof, i concur.

i personally think coupe style two tone on a fastback is pretty hard to pull off.

Munch · 11-26-2006, 01:00 AM

I think mauve would suit you.

Actually, mauve is just the only trippy sounding color I know...but now that I actually just looked it up...I'de HELLA paint my car mauve.

About two tone fastbacks, I think the oem bluish gray/gray bottom looks pretty good on a FB. I also think grey upper w/ alot darker gray on bottom looks great.

'90RPS13 · 11-26-2006, 01:03 AM

Mines headed for same paint style you got. Gonna go with pearl white lower and roof pearl black. *a

Anto · 11-26-2006, 01:41 AM

I concur.. pearl white is the f-ing shit. Pearl PEARL white.

mmmmmmmmmm

juice.def · 11-26-2006, 01:54 AM

pearl white or that charcol grey in my opinion will look fresh.

lucky7 · 11-26-2006, 10:39 AM

go BMW sterling grey metallic. the deepest OEM paint ive ever seen IMO.

every body line stands out. really an amazing color.

mr_240sx · 11-26-2006, 12:43 PM

i hear that pink is the next fad!

shane_lxi · 11-26-2006, 01:01 PM

Yes, hop the pink wagon! lol. Nah, seriously, do something diffrent, brown, dark brown with toooons of rainbow flake!

.

nistech · 11-26-2006, 04:07 PM

top secret gold

thejapino · 11-26-2006, 04:26 PM

TAUPE, yeah do taupe.

SimpleS14 · 11-26-2006, 04:26 PM

black with pink pearl (or metallic flakes)

*!Zar!* · 11-26-2006, 04:48 PM

You should paint your car, Ihaveamindofmyown. It looks quite nice if done right.

The paint code is. Useyourbrain mixed with a little research.

CKAMC · 11-26-2006, 05:08 PM

somethin blue... to match the blue interior... if you redo the interior to black then hit up the silver or black...

thats just my opinion tho

lucky7 · 11-26-2006, 05:10 PM

i SOOOO wanted to paint my EK coupe this color:

and i wanted to put a set of gold RGII's on it. that would have been fucking sweet!

status:one · 11-26-2006, 05:12 PM

I am in the same dilemma as you right now...

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-26-2006, 05:13 PM

BMW M3 Gun Metal or Midnight Blue with gold flakes...Nuff said...

cheap_sticker05 · 11-26-2006, 09:06 PM

I love red, my car is HOK Brandywine with Mazdaspeed Black Mica roof. I love it, it looks very low key but classy. Just my opinion if you need a pic I will post it.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-26-2006, 09:22 PM

I think the 2 tone black roof shiet is fucking played out...people need to move on from that shiet. It was cute 2 yrs ago...

LongGrain · 11-26-2006, 10:11 PM

im doing metallic silver with a black roof/pillars (pillars are already black anyway) but im doin the $50 paint job so my color choices are limited, no OEM color codes for me lol.
