Default Gun metal or black?... Color scheme inside! Help <3

So I have a thing for orange. Idk why, but it all started like 5 years ago when me and my dad were building my banshee (ill upload pics to a new album later) I wanted a color that you didn't see everywhere. It was between orange, a dark purple, and a tealish green.

I eventually chose the orange and since I just love the color. Orange hats, shoes, my bmx bike, color schemes on other stuff. I just love it


So my situation now (for when I trade in the boat for the zed next feb) is what color. I love gun metal on black rims...but idk how orange accents would look. Black on orange also looks dope. Then there's the lovely satin black wrap and that Lambo matte grey (I forgot what the color is)

As far as exterior I'm not sure how I'd do it with base colors since orange is quite a bright/noticeable color, unlike carbon/black accents. I guess I can't work with the gloss

Rims, emblems, and idk what else if I got it wrapped in either matte color tho.

For the interior I'd use the vendor that Simota? (sorry if I butchered your name, I'm new here) used for all his red carbon/kevlar stuff, but in the orange (I fear it'll be too much tho) or the copper carbon (I fear this will be too redish). Also id get the steering wheel in carbon with orange stitching, eventually after market seats with custom stitching/colors/embroidery, and I'm sure some pretty audio stuff. I also think with all that, the normal orange carbon will be too overpowering.

I got my moms interior design skills, but for some reason I can't do the outside of the z. I had a set up for the boat, but that doesn't do much good. Any opinions are greatly appreciated, sorry for the wall of txt and scattered thoughts, and run on sentences, like this one :P.Hyped up on a monster after 2 hours of sleep (maybe 8 total since Sunday night) while also making sure I don't get caught on my phone from supervisors and making a $15,000 dollar part.

Also, if anyone is good with photoshop and can do a few color schemes with me send me a pm. I can pay you if the price isn't outrageous.

Thanks for your time everyone! <33

And while your reading, can someone list the body kits that are of good quality. I know the amuse is popular but meh. And the zele isn't fancy enough for me. If not feel free to flame and say I'm lazy and to search it

OK BYE!

the interior comes in orange. Mine as well as many others on the site have the persimmon interior.

Seems you have the interior sorted out. I would do the copper carbon with your orange stitching. As far as the outside. It depends on if you like it to really pop or be more subtle. You could get some orange wheels. Or you could get your calipers powdercoated burnt orange and do burnt orange lugs on black or gunmetal wheels. Personally I would go with the second option and do the calipers and lugs to go along with the orange theme. The color scheme would work on both black or gunmetal. So that is a personal preference on which color you like best on the Z.

Amuse is probably my favorite kit but it is very popular. Second would be the Sunline Racing kit (Shine Auto makes a replica).

Black with the Persimmon interior is absolutely sick...

Mike the Powdercoater has a track Z with nice orange accents. You should check out his car. He is also your best contact for powdercoating calipers or other parts you might want to accent - he can do any color you want.

Lastly, I finally got a chance to see the Reflective Copper Carbon Fiber in person. I think it looks amazing, but it is definitely darker than a bright orange. I prefer more of a burnt orange/copper color than bright neon orange anyway. The color is fairly subtle, so I think it would still look good with either shade of orange. The main thing I like is it doesn't scream look at me - but if that's the orange color you're going for, then you might not like this as much. Plus, as you mentioned, it is quite expensive.
simota1 and DEpointfive0 like this.

I haven't seen the persimmon in person but it looks more tanish/brown to me

I def like the orange that pops and that's a good idea with the lugs/calipers. I thought about calipers but it wouldn't be enough. I'll upload pics of my bike when I get home and you'll see the color I like. I wish they made the copper a bit more orange. I don't like the tons of orange/small amount if black but it's the only option if I choose that color

Also thinking aftermarket mirrors in orange for a lil more pop. Saw some that were carbon fiber and looked waaay clean.

The plan I had for the stung was matte black wrap, 2 orange thick racing stripes, and orange emblems. I wasn't sure about rims tho...that's so much orange...

The Z however doesn't have the racing stripe option so I need the extra orange somewhere and don't know how I'd achieve it...emblems, lugs, calipers, mirrors...but other than that I'd need 1 more thing on it orange, or else there isn't enough to go with dual color schemes.

How much would all the interior carbon cost? Just a random guess is fine. I'll ok Simota when I get home. I was thinking about getting 2 tiny pieces sent out of something random to make my choice. One of each color
