The definitive paint thread. Nuff said. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*exitspeed* · 01-21-2008, 01:58 PM

Post pics of awesome paint jobs/colors. Stock paint or not stock paint. The point of this thread is to compile all the hottest paint colors under the sun.

Try and keep the chat to a minimum.

Also, try and actually post a pic of the color not just the name. Also post the color code if you have it.

I'll start it off with the most sweated, but never actually done, 240 color of all time.

Lavender Frost Metallic. LG1. 1989 OEM color. Coupe only.

*exitspeed* · 01-21-2008, 02:09 PM

devonkyle77 · 01-21-2008, 02:12 PM

oem kh3 (superblack) is the hottest color ever

axiomatik · 01-21-2008, 02:14 PM

I really like the paint on my '98 Jeep Cherokee. On cloudy days it has a maroon look to it, but on sunny days, it's a fantastice metallic red with yellow pearl. Looks great in the sun.

This pic doesn't really do it justice, but you can see the pearl in the front fender.

*exitspeed* · 01-21-2008, 02:20 PM

I had this color on my Eclipse GT. I really liked it. It's called Patriot Pearl Red. I'm pretty sure it was available on 3rd gen Eclipse years. R70

JoeC1982 · 01-21-2008, 02:26 PM

i used to work for Mitsubishi, i think the dark red as pictured is actually called Ultra Red Pearl, the patriot is just a regular bright red. the ultra is available on the new eclipses as well.

Nope. That's what I thought when I bought the car too. The other red was called Sorano Red or something like that. You would think the reg. red would be the Patriot color, but it's opposite.

Z33 Redline

I like the fact that it's a solid color that looks just about the same all throughout the day unlike other paint jobs that look orange-ish at night.

My car will be dipped in Redline next month.

Oh yes.

I cannot find a pic but...

Please do not paint your car this color,
Chrysler paint code "PXR". Comes on alot of Dodge cars but makes the lame ass Charger look sexy.

It is by far the sexiest variation of black I have ever seen.

This color will be on my car for a long time unless I run into another black that makes me wet.

Someone is a hater... try sipping on that jug of Haterade you have.

zavala · 01-21-2008, 06:35 PM

try looking at a Subaru color called "midnight black pearl" it was the old color of the 2003-2003 bugeyed wrx's and the current color of my roof lol. it's a black with a blue pearl in it. looks black at night until it's in the light same for the day time too unless the sun hits it jussttt right.
