Official Gun Metallic 370Z Thread
 
I have not seen anyone create a thread for the new 2011 gun metallic color option, so here we go.

The rules of this thread are simple, only pictures of Z34 that have the paint code KAD may be posted.

I've been waiting for a proper dark grey color to come out, this Gun Metallic is perfect. I went and lurked around the dealer today. I think this is the color I'll end up with. I was planning on purchasing this summer but it might be fall now.

Nice Photos

thanks guys..

@Racer X: Yep, it sure is. I'm still in the break-in stage, so I drove all of GMR at the speed limit. Using the SRM was pretty fun, but I turned it off half way through it. I was slightly apprehensive going around the turns because I'm still getting a feel for the way the car behaves. So far I have not been disappointed.

Great to hear and Great Color :)
After the break-in? join the guys doing the Malibu cruise sometime?

I instantly recognized Glendora Mountain Ridge Road, it almost resembles platinum graphite in certain places but it is certainly darker and looks great with that back drop. You should definitely come to some of our "cruises!"

I remember this spot on GMR

Reaper42 01-03-2011 07:18 AM

SO this is a different color than my car??

Dark_Sub_Rosa 01-03-2011 05:22 PM

Yes Gun Metallic is definitely NOT Platinum Graphite.

+1 in pics looks almost identical

Here's a side by side comparison of Gun Metallic on the left and Platinum Graphite to the right. The lighting was poor and I'm sure the differences are more discerning under natural lighting, however, it's obvious that GM is darker than PG.

PG has a sort of a dingy coloration to it and is brownish bronze. It's very warm in color. The GM is more of a true shade of gray without any discoloration towards the warm spectrum of colors.
