Brabham Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Looks awesome well done. Is it the original color? Had a look back and your engine bay is blue and interior is lime. Did you go acrylic or 2-pack? Nice to see another lime one! Quote

Lime yellow is the colour it was born with. Bit it was black when I bought it I don't like black cars, they are to hot an hard to clean. It has never had A blue engine bay. But I did own a blue 260z and a blue 280zx. Maybe you saw a Photo of one of their engine bays I using t pack paint on the 240z Quote

Brabham Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 What brand of paint are you using and can they mix it from the code or did you get it matched? Cheers Quote
