zzzzed Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I have been going to paint my 240z wr blue from the wrx for some time now. However just recently i have been thinking more about its original colour which is pine lime. I thought i would post a poll to see what you guys think. Sorry if this is a stupid question, because i know at the end of the day it is totally my decision. If i go the pine lime I will be doing it in a JDM fashion with black bonnet, ect. where as the if i go the blue it will be more for show. Cheers guys Mick..... P.S here is a pic of a wrx in wr blue Quote
sexual_sushi Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I think either colour would look great. I do love the pine lime green colour though, if I get another zed its going that colour Quote
RB26DETT Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 JDM fashion??? haha where is Lurch... ok, in all seriousness i'd go the factory colour Quote
zedevan Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 do you mean the colour of the car i've attached? If it was my cars orginal colour i would go for it, but only because I'm a fan of the colour and was already thinking of that colour (so the fact it was the orginal colour is just the icing on the cake) - it would definately stand out alot Quote
limezed Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Go the green!! I have one in this colour, and it certainly gets commented on (for better or worse). The other benefit is you will never lose it in a car park. Quote
Lynton Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 You gotta love those eccentric 70's colors......go the LIME YELLOW!! Lynton Quote
mossy Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I'm doing my z a similar blue, 350z daytona blue, but for a stock colour the lime is very cool. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted June 13, 2009 Administrators Posted June 13, 2009 My vote is for the 70's lime, its one of the hottest original colours. The blue is for a more modern look but the 70's Lime will always be cool. Just look at the pic Evan attached of Guy Miller's cars: http://www.viczcar.com/Featured-Rides/Guy-Miller-and-his-3-early-240z-s.html Quote
Mick280zx Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I think the blue is a bit overpowering for an older car. The lime fits the era more IMO. Whichever way it will look good Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted June 14, 2009 Moderators Posted June 14, 2009 There is a early 240 deep metallic blue that I've seen done but it's pretty rare. Its a little darker than the WRX blue but good thing is it's an original Zed colour.. I'll try and find the code. Quote
zzzzed Posted June 14, 2009 Author Posted June 14, 2009 thanx for the input guys Another thing that is making me think go the lime is that my 260z 2 seater is already blue. Also the lime paint will be much cheaper as it is a solid and not a metallic Quote
RBZ 260 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 erm Mick there is no pink???? LOL u soft going original colours hihihihihihihi..... i see your point though no point having 2 blue cars. so i guess if u like that green go for it. i think on the 240z ill be going red. join the mighty red brigade of cool zeds ie: Sulios, Craigs, George's,etc...... but it will be slightly differnt hue though. wasnt your 1200 similar green?

Yeh I thought with all the blue zeds popping up i should go for something a little more unique. My 1200 was panama green from the lx torana Quote
RBZ 260 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 i like zedevan's green personaly. than im biased as my 200sx is similar colour. but still think its suits it. its ur car do what u think u like. maybe that green with bit of yellow pearl on top. just to make it that more special. im a sucker for mettalics and pearls Quote
Scando Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Off topic but that 1200 looks neat as zzzzed. Still got it or did you have to sell it to buy z's? Quote
waxhead Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Forget about the picture but the colour in the background is what i would like to paint my z with black zg guards and bobtail Quote
zzzzed Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 Off topic but that 1200 looks neat as zzzzed. Still got it or did you have to sell it to buy z's? yeh I sold it to fund my 240zed> built it from the ground up with a supercharged wolf 3d injected a15. It use to go very well Quote
zzzzed Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 these pics have made up my mind for me paint code 112 Quote
