Nissan 370Z Forum  

Do you regret the color of your Z?

I wish I got either a red or yellow Z. If I choose to paint it, its either those or I'll go for metallic purple or lime.

Brilliant silver... No regrets. Really shows the car off and always looks clean. The Z is such a unique car, it looks sweet in all the colors.

This is a very good point. Is it just me or is it VERY hard to notice orange peel on pearl white??? Either we really don't have any or those flakes help hide them

The paint on mine (40th Quartz) is as smooth as glass. It likes to chip though.

I love my mb roadster but for this summer I think I'm going to wrap it c yellow. There is this guy in li that does good work. Best thing about the wrap is it looks good and it protects your paint and you can just peel of and have your color back. I can't wait for Monday to go meet with him for more details

Default Wish I had a red Z!

My '07 Roadster is Carbon Silver which although is not my favorite, it's not my least favorite either. There's something about a red Z that just stands out. That would be my favorite! My least favorite is Silver Alloy or any plain silver color. Carbon Silver is more like grey! Seems silver is way too common.

White
Black
Red

Were my three colors of choice. I really wanted the white the most but ended up with a red as it was the only one in FL that had all the options i wanted. Overall im happy with it. Though i do wish it was a bit of a darker deeper red
