Whats the best colour for a 300ZX? Does the Red fade and are there any rust problems?

 

Again I'm new to this my current car is a Cavalier 2ltr with 190bhp I look forward to the 300ZX TT Manual if any good cheap ones exist

mine is white but I think dark colours may suit it more as they are a bit chunky these cars and dark colours don't exaggerate this. For sheer boldness, white is nice and stands out. Blue is a nice colour tho' - light blue is the coolest I've seen TBH.

East or West, Red is the Best with no contest :D

 

"Ammar"

North or South.......shut your mouth, silver's supreme..know what I mean? LOL :D

 

Click on my name and feel the shame!

East or West silver is best,but only if you wear a dress:D:D:D:p

Silver is the best, only if you are a mistress:p

RED? not for a Z, looks like its DEAD, thats what I SAID, go back to BED, rest your HEAD, cuddle your TED.

 

OOPS, boss is coming.............I'm off.

You've been taking typing lessons from Stu haven't you?

Doesn't matter but white is the fastest due to the absence of pigment in the paint making it lighter weight ;)

Sorry to you all (except those that got the question RIGHT)

 

This is a MEAN looking car.

 

SO it has to be a mean looking colour!

 

Red has too strong an affiliation with ferrari, which is a gentle sweeping curvy marque, very pretty, BUT DEFINATELY NOT MEAN! Buy a red Zed and everyone will think that You really wanted a Ferrari but didn't have the cash! (Possible single exception being MACCA - who could have bought the entire Maranello factory for les than his ZED! :) )

 

Silver and Gun Metal aren't too bad, a bit neutral and understated, still doesn't quite go with the MEAN theme.

 

White is just SHITE, sorry, but this is the basic colour of every 'L' model Ford, Vauxhall, Skoda....c'mon be serious, who every heard of a white sports car!

 

Yellow? Sorry, but no! You loose. If you own a Diablo SV, then maybe, but only if you're gay! A Yellow Z is as close to a hairdresser mobile as you can get (and I don't care what mods you've got on it, spend some money on paint you dickhead!)

 

So that leaves, the MEAN Colour, the colour of choice, the colour that shows DIRT better than all the others, but gives the best contrast to shiny alloys and becomes a smooth shining sliver of dark obsidian when combined with dark tint windows.

 

BLACK, my friends, is the one true colour of the ZED. Black like the night, dark and forboding - a warning to all who dare. MEAN and uncompromising, purposeful and full of dangerous intent. Show the world you don't care, drive a BIG BLACK NASTY ZED with the loudest Exhaust money can buy.

 

(All in my very own humble opinion of course! )

I have an H Registered import and the colour still looks great - I had a wing and front spoiler repainted recently (and if i catch the b*****d ...) with practically no difference between the original paint and the new.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred!

Which one you prefer is down to personal taste.......

 

I agree, the Zed is a fantastic looking car in any colour! :D

Oh man, I can't believe this needs any more discussion. It's black!

 

I could probably prove it, given enough time and money to do the research.

Nigel Boyd.................... you are the man, i so agree with everything you said there, my and truth be known prob every ones thoughts really, especially the white bit!!! but a menacing car should be a menacing colour..........oh and by the way mines black with an evil growl, im sorry to all the rest of you with girly colours, powder blue, poppy red, baby yellow and fridge white, my heart goes out to you, im amazed you dare to go out in them, but i see by the pics that you all blacked the windows (pity its just the windows eh ;) ) so you cant be seen, and i know you all modified them incase friends see you so you can make a quick getaway lmao:eek:

I think if you do a search you will find that SILVER is the best! You all know it but won't admit it.... Just come out of the closet
