I dont think the z color palette is the greatest in the world. The colors i thought that were decent were Chicane yellow. Lasted one year. Gun metallic, black & monterey blue. While i think the refresh sucks. I think 2013 was blessed with two great colors. midnight Blue and magna red.

I have gun metallic and think it looks the most high quality aside from the black and white colors. But white is my least favorite.

I regret the black cherry. My next z hoping in the next few years I'll go with gun metallic, or whatever the variant is, or that midnight blue is looking sick.

I regret it because its a pain to maintain, like the black, so I'm almost never happy with how it looks because every little swirl shows so easily. IMO, the color looks amazing on cloudy days, but that sucks I don't really drive it in the rain so it just sits in the garage on those days haha.

Started shopping by looking for a Pearl White or Midnight Blue. Never really wanted a black car due to the maintenance (and I'm a clean car freak). Oddly enough, I ended up buying a Magnetic Black Z. It's super sexy when clean and I since it's not my DD I went for it. No regrets so far, but I know the pain that lies ahead with trying to keep her clean...

I wish the 370z had the electric blue from the 350 years. I love that color.

Midnight blue will be just as hard to maintain as black.

It's a love/hate relationship for sure.. but it is a very unique colour and does look fantastic when in the right light and all shined up!

Love my solid red. No regrets, no doubts, no tickets...yet. All smiles here

faya · 03-19-2013, 01:40 PM

pearl white all the way..

wheee! · 03-19-2013, 01:46 PM

My second choice was definitely the Pearl White.... Now I'm crushing over the dark blue....

FairladyZ · 03-19-2013, 02:01 PM

I was between pearl white, and gun metallic.

Went with white and never looked back.

I love black when it is clean but with nissans shitty paint I couldn't do it. and even if you don't have shitty paint black is a bitch to maintain, constant waxing and cleaning is needed otherwise swirls show so bad
