I love the new liquid aluminum. But....

Why is this new color $1100 more expensive than the others? Is this new paint more durable and resistant to chips and scratches?

If so, that's a good deal and well worth it. However, I'm afraid that liquid aluminum costs more only because it's the newest flavor of the month. What is the truth?

I beleive it has to do with the application method. sorta like that chameleon paint; but different.

whether its more resistant to chips; or if it has less orange peel. I dont think Ive ever read either way.

Maybe it's just to make you think that it's something really special. After all, it does cost $1100 more than any other color so there must be something to it, right?

From what I've seen of LA, it's not worth it. I saw it and a CS together on the dealers lot on a bright sunny day and all I can say was that LA is lighter or brighter. It didn't look "liquid" or wet as the name implies.

It would be interesting to see how many people buy that color, as I too don't see it being worth $1100 more than a CS after seeing them side by side.

I've seen the LA & CS side by side & could see little difference.

On the other hand if I was a silver car guy, I could see me popping for the extra bucks simply to have something a little different.

When it comes to sports cars its about what floats your boat.

There's a great pic somewhere on the forum of the two colors side by side in a dealer's showroom... Not sure how you'd find it though...

If you check my LA Auto show pics there are a couple of Silverstone and LA in the same shot. Didn't do it for me.

The only thing you can say about the LA is that some day, in comparison, it will make it seem like they made a lot of Brickyards.
Unless they released LA in Japan. Anyone know?

Maybe it's just Nissan trying to rip off some gullable people.....

I think theyd have done better if they called it a "special edition"; I think thats basicly what it is. a limited number made and sold at a premium. if they stop making it after 04 it would make sense; brickyard being the first edition then aluminum; and something else next year.

I think it is a rip off. It's just silver. What's so special about that? I think the sunset orange is way better. They should make that a special color. There's alot of import racers painting their cars that color now.

Here is my car side by side with a Liquid Aluminum in the showroom. Basically Chrome Silver Z's have a black pigment in it and LA doesnt. I personally feel like its not worth the extra $1100. But I am biased. lol

Some people are willing to pay more for a special color.

It's almost white. A nice colour, but not sure it's worth +$1100.

cedusett

Yeah I agree completely. I'd trade my CS straight up for one, but no way would i spend an extra 1100 dollars for it.

DJK, your car is blindingly beautiful.
