My 240z Paint Color Poll

[Zephyr]

So I have a 1972 Datsun 240z, and hopefully within the next two months it will be stripped, sandblasted and rolled to the paint booth. So here's my dilemma, I'm stuck between three colors right now. It's currently peeling blue lol

Current choices would be:

White with black wheels, black flares, black fender mirrors
Probably a white like my IS, minus the pearl.

Satin Black and everything black except usual turn signals and black wheels with red tip (time attack theme)

Blue with black flares, black fender mirrors and gold wheels

Blue would be this exactly same blue on the autobacs car:

So what you guys think? Help me pick a color combo!

My vote goes to blue....only cause I've been watching too much Wangan Midnight anime :thumbsup:


I'm sure the white would turn alot of heads tho

Seen an orange one rolling around town. Looks sharp.

Out of those, I'd say white.

Blue with black looks great on those 240z's


It gets my vote.

Oh man, what happened to the metallic yellow/gold colour I was talking about?

I would hit it.

However given your choices, it'd be a toss up between white or blue, more towards blue.

im going to toss my vote in with white, a white 180 would be so sexy.

im a little bias though

white cars are sexy.

He's talking about a 240z hommie, not 240sx.

Anyways, my vote is black.

[Eleanor]

Blue FTMFW!

[Zephyr]

looks like blue is what most people seem to like more...i was leaning towards that too after staring loading up the autobacs car... hrm...

[rc2002]

If the original colour of the car is blue, then it's a no brainer.

Then the engine bay wouldn't need to be done. And all the paint underneath the carpet and seats won't be off-color.

Well the car is going to be stripped soon to be sandblasted, so the entire car will be repainted even engine bay and I'm planning to put some type of rust proof coating under the car, so a change of color is no issue...

[beyond_ban]

that blue with the white stripes looked pretty sick. Of your choices i would go with the blue, but the all black with a wire gold rim like white one two posts up would look nice too IMO
