Difference between PG and GM?

Nixlimited · 05-13-2011, 01:42 PM

I am looking at these two colors only, but I have only actually seen the gun metallic in person. Can anyone tell me how similar these two colors are?

Gun metallic is a bit darker, but PG is not made anymore so will be harder to find (PG was 09/10).

Thanks. I am looking at new and used so PG may still be in play. I think I prefer the darker though. Decision, decisions...

They are different.

The 40th has a 'purplish' pearl that really stands out in certain lighting.

The GM does not have this.

See for yourself:

PG to the left GM to the right

More pics of PG can be found in the thread that Kenny made:

i may be biased but i like the pg over the gm. the gm gives off a darkish blueish hue at certain angles which almost makes it look like the 40th. just my

though

Well I just got the GM and the car is beautiful. I've had several random compliments in parking lots and at traffic lights.

Whoa! What? Nissan makes more than one shade of gray?! Now, why would a car manufacturer do THAT!?

OK, in all seriousness, the Z is the first car I've seen that looks good in every color offered. You just can't go wrong. Get the color that appeals to you most.

Oh, yes. I almost forgot...PW is clearly the nicest shade of gray they offer.

Gun metallic is visibly darker and cooler in hue. I thought I preferred it over PG when I saw pictures but once I saw one in person at the dealer, I thought the metallic flake was a bit overdone. It is a beautiful color!

I currently have the PG but will soon paint it to the GM

Anyone know any good locations to get a paint job around West Covina, CA?
