I want to ask the pros about this paint.


Image



This is a factory color on the nissan skyline. I think its real sharp and want to paint my car and maybe bike this color. I like the way it changes in the light.

You guys know the paint code? or the best process for this paint?

never seen this car in person. I don't think we have it in Hawaii yet.

I seen tons of videos and pictures tho. What happens in the sun?

I seen the link posted and I don't think a color can be that way off in the sun can it?

I'm not saying its wrong but I just want this color on my car.

Its hard to tell the true color through a computer monitor.

If it was me I would want to see it in person first.

That almost looks like Ford's Kona Blue (code L6 IIRC). It has some pearl in it but it's not a tri-coat/pearl formula.

Yes, we removed the Cobra stripes... customer's request.

I seen the Kona blue in fact i'm kinda thinking about it for my mustang one day. But kinda open on that one cause I want a bit more pop out of the blue.

As far as this thread, I got a datsun i want to stick with a Nissan color. Plus its rounder and i think the paint will be nicer with the light.

FYI. i have a 1973 Datusn 240z
