Gun Metallic Nismo

JJ-NISMO · 01-29-2011, 11:41 AM

Spotted this beast on a site today and haven't seen one posted on the forum yet....

Posted photos of both GM and PG to compare.

What are your thoughts on the Gun Metallic vs the Platinum Graphite?

Will the new color devalue the Platinum Graphites?

Is it just me or is the bumper a way different shade of grey than the hood?

I doubt it will devalue PG. In my opinion it all depends on the buyer. Some will prefer the PG and others GM. It will also depend on how many of each were/are produced. The rarer of the two will most likely get valued slightly higher. In the near term though i don't expect to see any change.

Looks the same to me :/ You mean on the GM or the PG car?

Any aero parts will have a slightly different shade than body panels.

I liked the PG since it was close to Gun metal and it is easy to maintain and sexy. But with GM out, I am all in for the GM!

the PG looks like a mix between GM and the Grey.

Ya, the Gun looks like what would happen if the PG and the 40th had a love child....

I think it looks nasty, def liking the new color

Do want.

SPOHN · 01-29-2011, 12:04 PM

I have a GM and love it over the PG. Almost wish it was darker. But it's very nice.

I want to go Chuck Norris on Nissan's ***.... Three silvers seems crazy.

I am just going to spray paint may car with primer.

Go gun metallic.

I like GM, but for some reason a GM GTR looks a lot different in photos than a GM 370z, even the nismo. The darker the grey/silver, the better as far as i'm concerned.

I prefer the PG. GM is not bad at all.

I'd have to see this color in person. I don't see much diff between the two but it appears GM has a less metallic appearance to it and more of a solid hue. It's nice, but I like how in the right lighting PG accentuates the lines of the 370z.

And I'm not just saying that because I own a PG
