Jetpilot Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I think the zed is of an age now where its possibly expected that colour changes may take place, but, if your going bright and bold your going to polarize opinions, so narrowing your market, only imho of course.

team stevedave Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I agree, I keep going back to thinking should I stay safe with gun metal and then the guy on my other shoulder is shouting don't be a boring bugger. Would you guys buy a bright orange supercharged 350z, cause even I'd be unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Dont be so cautious and just make it the way you want it...the orange you sprayed up would look mega Also if the paint job was a good enough standard then i dont see why i wouldnt buy an orange zed. I mean id rather buy a decent sprayed zed than a wrapped zed. Biggest problem you have to think it what colour to spray the handles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Biggest problem you have to think it what colour to spray the handles Pink...orange/pink is my fav combo. Black; no brainer...pretty much as above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I wouldn't be put off by a custom paint job. As long as it looked good. The only thing that would cross my mind would be getting a good colour match on future repairs but thats not a huge issue Follow your heart not your head.

team stevedave Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Just a scan through piston heads and about 85% of them are grey so not doing that. As for the handles I know its killing me, either black or colour coded orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 There was a member on here who had the same rear as yours and painted it the same as the m3 dtm. Can't find his other threads but here a pic I did find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Why not a gunmetal or anthracite? Well thats what im doing for mine anyways I feel colour coded they just get lost and well black is just black aint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Why would you pay to make your car boring? As nice as a car can look in a good grey in the right light, it's essentially just an incredibly dull and thoroughly uninteresting colour. I mean, each to their own, but thankfully the trend for silver & grey cars is a fad from the early noughties that's dying out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The orange on the new Aygos is a nice shade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But iv always said that darker greys can look really good on the right car Dan won't agree but we will show him that he's not always right That g35 looks the part in a darker grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 As far as the handles go- colour match them to your wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Greys and silvers look fine, but every single car ever made looks better in a different colour The one exception is a 300SL. Well, and a DB5. But that's it. Just those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 They would both look better in a darker grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team stevedave Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Im thinking about doing the wheels, handles, front splitter, rear diffuser and roof a dark anthracite, maybe vauxhaul 107 anthracite, I think the mix of black and anthracite may not be quite right.

Ash87 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Go for orange! Who cares if it looks like the factory 350z Orange, that's a nice colour. Also the supra in fast and furious 1 was a nice orange. Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthatB0MBSHELL Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The 370z in America has a 'black cherry' which is a purple worth a look. Yes I love this colour, also know as Black Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kay Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I quite like a light battleship grey as long as its got a high gloss finish. Also I think the new BMW 6 series comes in metallic, almost pearl grey which looked nice. Worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
