Suggestions on Classy/Conservative Color to Repaint 350Z?
Hi All,
You guys have suggestions on colors I should think about? I'm only interested in a more tasteful, classy, and conservative color (I'm not sure that Sparkling Graphite is even conservative enough).

Hmm forrest green is pretty conservative, but since the Z doesn't come in that color, I'm afraid it'd stand out like a sore thumb more than LS! Looking at the pic DONCESAR posted, that showcar green looks nice but it'll get alot of attention.

LOVE IT thanks for the pic. it wont stick out! thats like saying if the 370Z wasnt made in black, and someone painted theirs the blackest of blacks, itd stand out due to being rare. its a very subtle color, just my 2 cents

I really like the ferrari blue and it would work for what I'm going for...the IS Blue is really nice but I'm looking more for something more muted where I can drive the car in a professional setting and not get noticed for having somethign too flashy.
I'm still favoring Sprakling Graphite though....if and when I get this thing painted, of course I'll post pics...

What kind of job do you have where an orange car would be a negative thing?
Also, that will be one pretty expensive paint job considering you will have to paint the door jambs and inside of the hatch. It will still look out of place when you open the hood though, unless you drop some serious cash to have the engine bay.
I would think it could hurt the resale value of the car to have it two tone like that.

i really believe that a dark grey color is VERY classy, but VERY nice
like a carbon silver color, but darker. like the bmw one you have up

fan of the graphite in first pic.
how do you like gunmetal? (tint of brown, like the anthracite supra's, one of my all time favorite colors)'
such as this:
