A search of the forums only turns up one reference to using Cold Gal(v) as a rust prevention coating whilst there are more mentions of using POR15 and KBS rust seal paint treatments. Not sure of the principal behind the POR15 and KBS paints however given the proven characteristics of galvanising I suspect the cold gal(v) type paints with >90% zinc content would be the better option especially when painted onto the bare metal as an undercoat either on internals of the doors/hatch, the floor pans and/or on the underbody. The photo below shows how a fence/gate post in a coastal location (~100m from the beach) has survived 50 years of salt exposure with a coat of cold gal(v) whilst the barbed wire has not fared well! Anyone used Cold Gal on their Zed?

New member to the group and doing some research. Does your car loose much in value if you respray in a colour different to the original colour? Yes it's a big job but not sure if I like some of the 260Z original colours?

Hi guys, I started “playing” with one of my 240z that I recently purchased. And yes, I am making one hell of a mess, all I can say is that god for roller doors to hide the pain. I want to restore this car as close to original as possible (with a few exceptions) and I want to know if there is any way of telling for sure what the original colour would have been. I have taken a few areas back and they reveal several different possibilities and I would like to be correct. That said, if it was a crap colour then……………… Have a good Christmas, Cliff
