Is it just me!?

Is it just me or are some 40th Z's darker than others?

SPOHN · 04-13-2013, 07:14 AM

Oh it's you, not me.

Never really noticed that. I truly love the color though.

I have had mine right next to 4 other 40ths and they appear identical to me.

The black one appear to be darker than the white ones.

bdavis89 · 04-13-2013, 09:15 AM

OP might have it confused with the dark cherry color, unless they're the same?

If you take off your sun glasses, one shouldn't be darker than others.

Cocaine, It's a hell of a drug.

You might be confusing the 40th color with the other two or three shades of grey Nissan has used for the Z34.

Unless the OP is commenting this based on the pictures he's seen online. Depending on lighting, my 40th goes from amazing dark gray (in the shade) to a very washed out gray at times (in direct sun light).

ubs234 · 04-13-2013, 05:10 PM

Okay so it is the lighting in the pics! phew! i thought like the earlier 40ths weredarker or something

Could be a 40th and a gun metallic side by side

Young padawan... the dark side is having a great deal of impact on you. Do not succumb to the dark forces. May the force be with you!

Never noticed it.

The only time one should worry is when the panels on the same car are a different color. My 350Z was that way and it drove me crazy. It seemed to only be noticable in direct sunlight. There was a color difference between the metal and plastic painted parts. No one else seemed to notice but, I did. I double checked my 370Z when I bought it. No miss-match panels this time.
