Does Nissan use the Z colours on any other vehicles?.
 
Dealerships in my city are only ordering a hand-full of 370Z a year. Right now three are 3 2013 and 3 2012 between five dealerships. So chances are, I might not be able to see all the colours in person. I have only seen solid red, gun metal and black rose.

Does Nissan use the same paint on other cars or are the Z colours exclusive?

Out of the colours that I have not seen, only the Altima sedan and Rogue use pearl white and brilliant silver.

Thanks for the help. I'll have to go check those out.

Nissan/Infiniti has the worst paint in the business and about 50 shades of grey/silver. My Frontier avalanche or cloud white paint started chipping after 20,000 miles. The Pearl white Z only has 3100 miles on it and already 3 tiny rock chips. I got about 5 total of 10 years of owning a Preium Pearl White Prelude with a 3 stage coating.

eh, value doesnt matter to me....from the moment i signed the paperwork i knew this was a car that i'm going to keep for a very long time...but yeah seeing as there were only a little over 500 Monterey Blue that were produced for the entire U.S. for the four years that it was available i would say it's a safe bet that you would be correct. heck even before i bought my Z i already saw a dealer marking up the price a little on a used one just because the color wasnt very common, dealers exact wording in said ad "rare monterey blue Z w/sport package". back to topic though i think you can find the red they use on the Z is also used on the sentra SR

I think it's a different colour. It's called red alert in the US or matador red here in Canada. I am hoping to see the Z in the magma red.

Went to see a pearl white Rogue today. Pretty nice colour.

not quite, also have seen the electric blue you are talking about...it is similar, but is a darker shade of blue in the sun than the monterey blue on the Z...i remember thinking the same thing about the blue on the juke when i saw one in that color at the dealership that i got my Z from, but in the end it was close but not quite the same color
