What premium would you have paid to get your Z in ANY color of your choice?

Hmmm, a dark metallic/satin blue or a matte dark gray color would be cool. As far as cost, it better be less than the cost of getting the car wrapped. If not, I would rather just get the car wrapped

If it is quality paint, I'd definitely prefer that. Vinyl wrap is still a cheaper look, and it will never have the depth of paint.

Yeah, but that's assuming it's quality paint. I would prefer quality paint too

I would pay any amount for pink. The color of this site kind of pink, but only if its really good quality. I dont want my premium pink to chip off with rocks and whatnot.

No but LeMans blue is a great color. I would get that in a heart beat if it was an option i could pay for.

Matt Black like the new BMW's coming out...

Actually on a recent episode of Top Gear, they said matte black PAINT was one of the worst to get. It's very easily damaged and extremely difficult to keep clean. Example, washing the car becomes more difficult and so does something like cleaning bird crap off the car. Don't know if it is actually like that, but it's what they said.

Like most things, it depends on which paint you go with. A lot of matte paints are really resilient, but some are pretty soft.

This is true. I guess they were talking specifically about the one that comes on the M3 since they were reviewing it.

The trouble with the orange is it looks faster going down the road. Everyone wants to race you and every cop wants to pull you over. I had a '80 firebird in almost the same color. Ended up selling that vehicle and buying a brand new nissan pathfinder in '88. My driving in that vehicle was more reckless and never received a ticket for the next ten years. the color? Black. There is no coincidence that the new z is the same color.
The favorite to have would be a highly polished raw aluminum with aluminum skinned bumpers. Show car all the way. I would need that megaball money to pull it off, and also would buy the shell helix acrylic Z to add to the collection .
/ end dream sequence.
