Pearl White or Gun Metallic?

JungleZ · 08-24-2013, 02:39 PM

I would say Pearl except Nissan pearl is a joke.Honda Premium Pearl White all day. I knew the pearl white on the Z probably wouldnt be as good but i didnt expect the paint to be that cheap.The Honda Prelude Premium Pearl white was good for 10 years not one flake or chip 3 stage coat that no shop could match.

For sure would of rather got Gunmetal or black, but this is true pearl white right here.

I will agree that pearl on some other vehicles have more of a pearl effect, but I disagree that PW on the Z is a joke. The Nissan paint quality is a joke on ALL of the Zs, not just the PW..... Why didn't you just get a Honda and call it day?

Don't forget the 1 silver.

That's about right though I see a few more blacks. GM is hard to come by but its sexy. For instance my GM was the only one in a group of 30.

OP you'll never go wrong with both but my GM is a head turner for sure!

White. I'm sick of GM. I had 2. And my current car is GM-ish. The 40th dark grey is nice tho

PW, for some reason that rear end just looks fatter.

For GM, its nice but i feel like you will blend in more with the 350z since theres
a lot of that color.

I agree that is a nicer pearl white but you always have to go outbound brand to make a point. In actuality, pikes peak white on the Nissan 350z was gorgeous and was problem free like the prelude.

Here's a flawless pearl white 7 year old 350 for sale. Pikes peak.
Pikes Peak White Pearl 2007 Nissan 350Z* Dealer:*Boerne - Cars - toyota sports coupe 2dr

Pikes peak is solid but I feel a nicer wwhite for a sports car imho. It makes a better white for the Z than pearl as a general statement
