Hey guys, im new here and will hopefully be getting a Z soon, i came to an agreement with the seller on the price. and also included in the deal was, "he has to paint the car ANY color i want"...i always wanted a red car, so i want something red... but the problem is which red?......i don't want the redline red because it is a stock color, and if im getting it painted let me get something better.....any suggestions on what red? i like a red thats kinda dark but shiny.


p.s. please respond fast i have one day to tell him!!!!

 

Why would you paint such a new car? It will never look as good as the factory paint.

 

o i didnt mention the car was in an accident, all body damage no engine. And it needs new paint

 

It still won't look right if you paint it a different color. The door frames, engine compartment, etc. will not match the outside. Does he plan on stripping the car down to the body and painting it in and out then re-assembling it?

 

^ +1 point made.

 

Have it repainted the stock color and hope they do a good job

 

yes the car will be stripped b4 painting... so now......ne suggestions?...the original color was silver....just not my taste

 

maybe good old ferrari red. I think it's called rosso course or something like that. Could look good, or terrible. Just a thought

 

Candy Apple Red???

 

If you do go for BMW Imola Red

 

Goat blood red.

 

yea right now i was thinking of

1) ferrari red
2) candy raspberry pearl
3) candy apple red
4) imola red

in that order...i will be looking at these colors alll night and some others too u guys suggested....and pick by 2m...i will let u guys kno wat color i choose...and pics of its outcome

 

You're saying the dealer is going to remove the engine, all moldings and all badges, paint the car and replace them?

Whatever deal he is offering you, I almost guarantee you could find a red Z for a better price. A decent paint-job can easily run well into the 5-10k range.

 

Obviously, you didn't read post #1 and #3.

 

OK

Lexus has a color on the ES called Royal Ruby metallic. It looks great.

1976 corvette red

 

honda civic milano red

 

Mazda has a Ruby Mica that is an awesome color, it would really show off the Z's lines. Check it out.

 

Best red ever = Porsche Guards Red
