Color question for new Z purchase?

Komodo · 05-07-2010, 10:46 PM

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to start off by saying what a great site this is. I am in the market to purchase a new Z but have a question. I like the pearl white with persimmon interior. No dealer in my area has a white car so I cannot see it in person. Is it really white or does it have a yellowish tint like the old 300Z had? In the pictures and videos I have seen you cannot really tell. I really like the yellow tint of the old Z. I am also thinking about black with persimmon. Any thoughts from those of you that have seen or own both or either? Lou did a search for me and there is no car with the colors and options I want in the US.

Great Site!!

If you like both, I would pick white... Black paint show everything and with the paint quality, you're probably better off with white.

And the white is pearl.. so it's not your plain white...

The Pearl White or Magnetic Black are great color choices. Black of course is the most challenging to keep looking nice, but when clean is stellar! I have the black and know a couple of Pearl White owners. You'll love either one.

There area few threads from people with black who seem to regret their decision! I say go with the white!

I am picking up my black/persimmon today from the clearbra install(so yes... i was concerned about the paint so i drove it straight from the dealer to the installer) but i will post up pics today.

Go with Blue w/ persimmon. But I may be biased
