S.A.S. 350Z (color choice)

Alright,I just got the body kit in today from Cris everything was good except for a huge chunck of extra resin on the bottom of the front bumper and while I as cutting it off I oke the bumper,but I glued it back together now and everything is good. Rght now I am trying to decide on a color choice but I have no idea what would look good on it. I a looking for something bright becasue I wont all the detials on the kit to show. here are some progress pics of what it lokks like right now. the putty is drying so I can smooth it down in some gaps I made.

I know its bad but my local hobby shop only carrys testors so please refer to there paint codes, or names

looks good sofar!!
maybe a yellowish gold or red would look good?
Also, is the 350Z molded in silver?:confused:
Thanx a ton:cool: :flash:

its kind of like a gray silver but it has like lines threw it where its been molded so I suggest if u get it to paint it.

when i get a 350 Z with a SAS kit i was thinking of a blue upper half of the car with orange sides separated by a white stripe and Circle decals and a racing number on the doors.

Looking good so far.
As for the colour.....someone posted a dark blue a while back, very cool :cool: :cool:

Im leaning towards a bright red or bright blue. but I also found in my 300zx kit that I am building also it has the choice of making it a T-top and since I'm not making the T-top I was thinking about putting them on the 350 the fit perfect. what do u all think would this lokk pretty cool?

Not a color suggestion :D but I got the feeling that the Speedline rims might be too small for the 350 in the end.

red:)

I'd say a deep dark metallic blue. Mix 20 parts of clear blue with 5 parts of metallic green and 1 part of black. That'll make it vary under different lighting conditions. Sprayed over a grey primer.

That's how I would do it. :rolleyes:

Funny I was working on my SAS 350z tonight, before I came and logged in :)

Mine has to be Le Mans Sunset

I'm just having touble finding the real paint code to get the paint mixed.
Anyone on here know ?

I guess you found out the hard way that you need to be extra careful with resin coz its brittle. Make sure you check fitment of the headlights and dont rush it! Its gonna be interesting to see how this (and all the others) will turn out.

Mine is almost finished, hoping to have it complete this week as i've not been able to work on it for a few days. My colour choice will be revealed to you all when i post pics of the finished product, it was going to be gunmetal but i changed my mind. Another suggestion for you is pearl white.

I think you should do gloos black. It came out really nice on Guiddy's 350Z.

I meant gloss black.

im definitely a supporter of the bright blue. Thats the color that I planned on painting mine. Try and pick up pamphlet from your local Nissan dealer to get a better idea as to what color you'd like to paint it.

thanks for the suggestions, and yes im not going to rush it im wating over night for the putty to dry do i can then smooth it out and add another coat. I just want to find the right color and get it ready so I wont have to wait on going out to buy paint. And to whoever said it I forgot I really like small rims and I dont see why many more real cars dont have small rims becasue they perform better but I do have a back pair its just fitting them to fit the rim set up ill have pics later. there from a castrol nsx.

I have some Speedline decals in the mail that I will put on it also Is that the set from Fujimi's Partsmaker Logo decal series from HLJ?

color suggestion... hmmm. i'd say copper orange like this one... tight!!!

that pic didnt show up and yes the decals that are in the mail are thge fujimi manufature things. also I have started the progress of making it a T top. the entire roof was cut off between the tops of the front and back windows it looks very nicei think. pics soon batterys dead in camera.

heres what the T-Top is looking like right now A little bit more moding and cutting and it will fit perfect. the T-top will be all in one piece the cross member bar will be made from styrene. This way it wont come off in pieces just on slab.

How does one replicate that orange colour? Does Tamiya offer a special TS paint?

Paint it a dark blue. That would look hot.
