What colors would you like to see on the Z?

MikeGTO · 03-06-2009, 04:55 PM

The 7 colors currently available, well, they don't do a whole lot for me. I think PG is my favorite. I strongly prefer sparkly metallics to "flat" colors, and I prefer darker shades over bright primary colors.

Colors I would want:

A deep green metallic. Similar to british racing green, or the polo green used on the C4 and the Camaro for a few years in the mid '90s. Imagine a dark green Z with tan leather interior, that's a classic look. But nobody makes green cars anymore!

Dark (navy) blue metallic. Like green, nobody makes navy blue cars either. It doesn't have to be navy, as long as it's deep and on the darker side of blue shades, something far away from baby blue or sky blue. Something like the GTO's Midnight Blue metallic or Impulse Blue metallic would be OK, or the Admiral Blue or LeMans blue on the early C6 'vette.

A deep, metallic red (not flat). Similar to Magnetic Red, Monterey Red, or Crystal Red on the C6 Corvettes.

(Can you tell I like Corvette colors, just not the price tag?)

I really liked the San Marino Blue Pearl on the 350z.

Daytona Blue from the 350Z, bright white (not pearl), and a really dark gray like the Graphite Gray off the old Lexus IS300.

Dark blue metallic. I am considering waiting to see if they have any new colors for next year...

Yeah, that's exactly the same color I'm after besides black. Lexus does a good job with their dark blue metallic on the IS350. Just wish it was on the Z.

If they were going to use some kinda dark metallic green, I'll take it like this.

^ yeah that's f-ing sick. I love dark green sports cars... too bad it's not a more popular factory color.

Crash · 03-09-2009, 05:00 AM

Lamborghini Orange.

kdo2milger · 03-09-2009, 05:16 AM

YES!
I wanted the orange, but my wifey insisted on white...

alan93rsa · 03-09-2009, 08:32 AM

Viper Green - an old 911 color. I had a 73S in this color years ago. Wish I still owned it.

Mental Block · 03-09-2009, 11:04 AM

Lemans Sunset from the 350Z.
