hey,

im dropping my car off for paint tomorrow and i am stuck between paint colors... i have a week to decide...

this is what the car is going ot look like:
orignal 99 front with plate holder
no wing in rear
scoot CF hood
shaved off antenna


i am deciding between 2 blue colors'....
IBM (Innocent Blue Mica)
Corvette blue (dont know name but its a Z06 color)

i am all for going IBM but i have never seen that color in person before and i dont know if i will like it. would that be a good thing to do? paint a car a color you have never seen in person before???

any opinions! Thanks!

 

the daytona blue thats on the 350z is a nice blue

 

someone here has an fd with 99 front and has that same color daytona blue from the 350z, it looks very nice ill try and get a picture.

 

Kinetik's talkin about AMRAAM's car. IMO, daytona blue and 99 spec conversion looks amazing. Take a look.

another

 

last one, i swear

 

thanks ROTORhead93 thats the one.

 

and a decent pic of the ZO6 blue

 

My vote is with the Daytona blue. It looks fantastic.

 

The daytona blue looks very sharp on a sports car. It definitely stands out. Nice alternative to the stock montego blue. Whereas, the Z06 blue looks very classy and IMO, a bit more conservative compared to the daytona. I'd go with the Z06 blue but you really can't go wrong with either choice.

 

This is in 3rd gen why? Seems more like Interior/Exterior to me.

 

Are you set on Blue? I really love the dark grey that is on some BMW's I dont have any pics though.

 

yes, i am really set on blue..... i have my color scheme set up already... interior is all black, exterior is going to be blue with a scoot CF hood and a CF 99 front lip to swap out for show's. then, im going to decide to go wingless for good or get the 99 spec spoiler from japan and color it blue with a carbon fiber center section....

also, i might go with the 57pro's in 18's or the GT-7's with a gold center and chrome lip...

 

also, are the pic's of his car that you posted IBM or daytona blue?? also, is it metallic??

 

Should be sick dude... what side skirts/front bumper are you going with?

 

the front is going to be orignal 99 spec that i got from my shipments from japan... the sides will have nothing for now but i might get the carbon fiber feed ones but not permanent... they will e removeable for show's and stuff.....

thanks a lot for the compliments! should be done with paint and all end of the month! im going to install a FMIC and RAD too..... i have a lot of work to do on it!!!

 

go with the IBM please... I just got my 99 spec wing in today its IBM my car is black, My car is going into the body shop soon If I wasn't stuck on my rx7 being black I would go with the IBM.

Good luck post the pics when its done.

CF 99 front lip with IBM!!! hmmmm sounds familiar

 

i think im going daytona blue... i just saw the 350z... looks good.....

i have not seen the IBM color in person thats why i dont want to paint it a color that i have never seen...... if anyone local has a car in IBM or a part in that color...... please let me know!!!

 

Daytona blue looks great it's a 3 stage paint. I painted a 3rd gen and it looks real nice,i will try to find the pics and post them up.

 

Not sure if it's metallic, but it's Daytona Blue.

By the way, your choices you made for your car will definetly look amazing. I wanna see many MANY pics when your done with it.

 

No, it's not metallic.That color is a pearl.

 

yes, it is metallic......... i will post a lot of high resolution pic's when its done and the process of getting there!! i will do a before/after thing too!!

Thanks for the compliments!

 

Just incase anyone wants to know, The name for the ZO6 blue is "electron blue"
