Anyone else regret the color of their Z
 
When i first saw the Z it was at the dealer. Its pearl white, and it was love at first sight :) since it was the only one they had, i bought it lol

But man, every time i see a black Z modded....... I cant help but want to repaint my car black :( might be to pricey though. Oh well.

Jasonle 03-18-2013 06:54 PM

my top choice was white... but I'm glad I got black. I love it.

6MT 03-18-2013 06:56 PM

You'd regret choosing black. Pathetic to maintain.

But they do look good when they're detailed. Usually for about 5 minutes.

true, ive heard that quite a bit. Maybe because the one i saw was in an indoor parking lot. the paint looked so beautiful. i guess thats the best part of PW.. we have no swirl marks ;) unless you really try to look for them haha

I'm really pissed i got pearl white, not only is the paint a joke for pearl white the pearl is barely pearl. Premium pearl white Honda prelude now that's pearl white

xxAGAVExx 03-18-2013 07:00 PM

I love my black Z. I got to wash it pretty much evey weekend, but its worth it. :yum:

CBTheNucMan 03-18-2013 07:01 PM

I'm happy with my black z but it is a b word to keep clean

Z-Girl 12 03-18-2013 07:01 PM

Yep, black is ridiculously sick clean. A headache to keep clean but i get him detailed once a week, and he usually stays clean for a week. So not bad at all, lowered and shiny is just drool city! No regrets!

I regret my black ridiculously. I am seriously half in tears everytime a white Z passes me. It just looks so freakin beautiful, every curve is visible, instead of a black blob. Particularly how well black wheels and black roof and black wing can look on a white car... God.

I would trade my black for a white anyday. :wtf2:


EDIT: to add to the misery, there is a white Z in my neighborhood modded EXACTLY the way i would have gone about modding a white car.

Gun metallic, broke my neck many times

sz34 03-18-2013 07:06 PM

everytime i see a pearl white z i think about wrapping my car lol. platinum graphite is cool and all, but pearl white i think is the best color for the z!

On American Honda making a genuine pearl on the H22. Most definitely.

dP3NGU1N 03-18-2013 07:14 PM

No regrets on the color. I still open my garage just to look at it. Then close it and walk away. My only regret? Not having anywhere to drive to!

silentnightz 03-18-2013 07:21 PM

I have no regrets in picking my color.

homeryansta 03-18-2013 07:22 PM

If I can do it again, it would be blue instead of red.

MarkGideon 03-18-2013 07:23 PM

I originally wanted silver, but the only one available new in my price range (base) was gun metallic. No regrets at all.

black blob !? :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:
very true, you really can see every detail, and in the sun, the semi flat look of the pearl really offsets the parts shaded from direct sun giving it a cool mixture of gloss and some-what flat, look. but thats also what i love about black. everything flows so smoothly.. you cant really see much but the reflection of certain areas.

Z370Z011 03-18-2013 07:29 PM

ahhh yes, gun metallic would've been nice too :)

shadowfax 03-18-2013 07:40 PM

Went from a Black 350z to the pearl white 370z. I do miss the aggressive nature of a black car, but the white car is much more classy and doesn't take as much work to maintain.

isayimandrew 03-18-2013 07:43 PM

i have no regrets. I love the magma red color

Masa 03-18-2013 07:44 PM

No regrets picking my color but I did slightly rage when they released the dark blue for 2013.

Premium Pearl White, after 10 years i didnt have one rock chip,crack, yellowing.. You could still see the pearls in the paint. The only pearl white that compares is Cadillac Escalade Pearl or possibly lexus Pearl.

I have red and it's a pain to keep clean. Would go with pw/gm/blue if I could do it over.

It's nice to stand out tho. The solid red really needs a bit of sparkle.

scope22 03-18-2013 08:04 PM

love the blue...wouldnt' get any other color...and i hate black, i had a black car before and it was only clean for a day after i washed it...i will never get a black car again. they do look sleek clean but only because youre not the one washing it all the time..once you buy a black car you regret it the next day.

...dude monty blue is the best blue i've never seen on a car, dark blue is not nearly as nice

henryy370z 03-18-2013 08:08 PM

i have a black z i want white now lol

370zGatorman 03-18-2013 08:28 PM

I got brilliant silver and at first I wasn't sure I made the right choice. But it really is my favorite color Z. What I didn't know when I bought it was that silver stays clean FOREVER lol I can literally wash it once a month if I need to and it'll still look clean. I usually wash it every 2 weeks but the winter makes that difficult sometimes.

Also, I had a yellow 350z before getting the 370z and the silver Z blends in with other traffic MUCH better. You don't have to worry about a cop easily seeing you in a crowd but it still turns heads when it's alone on the road. The best I've seen the brilliant silver look is in a store parking lot at night under the overhead lights. It really is impressive the most at night for sure. If I had a 2nd choice I'd probably cave and get yellow again but after having a yellow mustang for 12 years and then a yellow 350z for 2 years I was a bit burned out on yellow.

kfull 03-18-2013 08:45 PM

Love my gm. Pw is my least favorite color. It seems to be the most popular around here though. Any specific reason why people love pw so much?

nepali 03-18-2013 08:50 PM

When I was searching for a Z, Red was the last color I had in mind. During email communication with a dealer, I found a Red one for a great price. I thought, what the heck, the deal is good, let's just go check it out and go for a test drive. As soon as I saw the car on the lot, I was like "WOW!" As of now, I do not regret it at all. I am glad I decided to check it out in person before ditching it.

I love this color even more right after a good car wash. :)

2xtreme1 03-18-2013 09:08 PM

Just ran into a Z on the street . Older guy pretty chill he rolls down his window and I tell him I liked the color of his Z. And he said any color looks good on this car lol.
Anyways I wanted gun metal ...but wasn't dark enough for me . Then I really wanted pearl white but I always had doubts .
Ended up with magnetic black . While it is hard to keep clean, I've learned to enjoy washing and waxing it weekly. It's always looking good :D
I don't regret getting black . It's so sexy especially in gloomy weather .

Nailzs 03-18-2013 09:13 PM

I had a choice between black, dark blue, and pearl white. I thought the pearl white showed the lines of the Z better than the dark colors. No regrets.
