ozzy 79 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 G'day, This is purely hypothetical, not least because I currently don't have a Zed! So, you're baby needs a paint job... what do you go for? 1. Solid stock colour 2. Solid non-stock colour 3. ZXR silver with sylised stripes 4. Gold/Black or Red/Black Anniversary style 5. Different 2-tone scheme 6. Your own style Do you think it is "wrong" to use a ZXR or Anniversary paint scheme? Although I never got either my of 280's to the paint shop, I spent a lot of time dreaming what I'd do... Love to know what you'd do/have done. cheers Ozzy Quote
Gyra Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I think the 280zx looks best in silver - it keeps with the 1980's "techno" ethos, like old casio watches and VCR's. Otherwise I reckon the metallic magenta from the Torana concept car would be stunning: Link But steer clear of the dodgy matching white leather interior... G Quote
ozzy 79 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Posted November 10, 2012 My first 280zx was silver... and yes, I thought she was pretty darn sexy. Though some 2 tone variants can be attractive too. That said, boring old white looks pretty good too, IMO... though, I'm probably biased because of the first 280zx I ever saw. Pretty intense magenta on that concept car! Quote
240charlie Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 i would have to go for a 2 tone finish black over silver Quote
gilltech Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Ditto 240charlie's comment, they suit a two-tone due to the body lines IMO. Quote
Scoota G Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 I would like to see a black and white Japanese Police car with ghosted pearl graphics on either door. A clip on light bar for shows perhaps something a little more modern than the old dome lights would complete the picture. Quote

Scoota G Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Transformers fan? Yes like that but the police on the side would be in Japanese. Should do the 2+2 V8 like that!! Quote

ozzy 79 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 When I got my 280zx, I thought about having a solid colour, but with a harlequin pin stripe... Not sure how it would have looked, but thought it'd be interesting! Quote
Scoota G Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Good paint choise for your new toy Scoota Actually i'm building this one for Katie. Quote
