I believe the metallic (grey metallic) is the best looking color. The reason I say that is if you wash & wax the car (or wash & put a show room polish), then the car will shine like a mofo. It will even shine more when it is really sunny outside.

I love this color a lot. My 2nd choice would be the PW, but it wouldn't shine as much once it is waxed/polished.

your paint code will be on the sticker in the drivers side door jam. Gun Metallic is KAD. If you bought it new 5 months ago it is probably gun metallic.

Gun metallic came out in '11 & is still being used for the '12 models. I know '09 & '10 were graphite.

Nice Spohn! I have a question, I know you built a track car based on a regular 370z platform, would it have been easier to start of with a Nismo Z as it is slightly more track ready and build that up or no?

nismo's are nice if you're not planning to mod it much. if you're doing a full track build like spohn, i think it's best to get the base since you'll basically be changing everything out anyways
