I know its always difficult to identify a paint color over the internet, but if anyone has any insight to what this color/code may be, if its oem? Thanks

g35gabby · 10-03-2014, 01:05 PM

It isn't bayside blue or Champion blue off the R33.

I want to say it is closer to Laguna Seca blue that BMW uses. maybe even the Phantom Blue Mica that mazda uses.

It was my parent's car since about 2001, and my dad did everything he could possibly do to stop the fading, but nothing helped. That Colorado sun just killed the paint over time.

My parent's gave the car to me, so it's slowly starting the upgrade process.

I am thinking Starfire Blue Pearl, cause it's sexy and never came on Zenki's.

If its a a zenki and you want a blue thrn go with Mediterranean blue . It was a rare color on zenkis . Imo I dislike seeing kouki colors on zenkis . Its very misleading.

Yeah, not feelin' the Med Blue. I don't really care that it is misleading - that's like saying don't paint your 240sx a color from another auto manufacturer, when there are craploads of people saying super white rules!

silviaks2nr · 10-06-2014, 05:59 PM

It might be speedway blue

crzsteveo · 10-14-2014, 04:53 PM

does anyone know how the Nissan factory painted their cars? like what color base coats they laid down before the main color and clear?

I got some OEM DH0 ( juniper metallic green ) paint that I just painted and it seems a bit darker then before..

silviaks2nr · 10-14-2014, 06:07 PM

As in what color primer sealer you need to use? Try it on a spray out card with black grey and white. Buff your OEM paint very well before you try to match it too. Oh, and be sure you spray that spray out card at the same angle you would spray the panel so the metallic sets up in the correct orientation. Depending on what part of the car you are spraying you may need to have a blend area into another panel, and if that's the case you might want a pro to do it for you. Blending paint well is extremely hard.

crzsteveo · 10-15-2014, 10:00 AM

^thanks man ill give that a try. I had a local paint shop mix up the paint, but it just doesn't seem right in the sunlight. ill play around a bit more.

DILLONDILLONDILLON! · 10-15-2014, 12:00 PM

alittle better shot of the paint almost done. hopefully my build thread will get approved soon.

benarovi · 10-16-2014, 10:40 AM

bataangpinoy · 10-17-2014, 05:56 PM

sorely disappointed; I was hoping to pick up some painting tips and tricks in here

silviaks2nr · 10-17-2014, 08:09 PM

zenki 95 · 10-27-2014, 10:49 PM

SlideAlliance · 11-02-2014, 01:00 PM

silviaks2nr · 11-08-2014, 06:23 PM

Would like to see an s14 in this color. Malbec black.

2muchboost · 11-09-2014, 06:24 AM

^^^fuck that is the exact color I want. Just had some LP2 mixed up....threw me a curveball now.

silviaks2nr · 11-09-2014, 09:19 AM

I'm trying to figure out what I can paint that color now!

zenki 95 · 11-09-2014, 09:41 AM

Is there a green in that color?

SlideAlliance · 11-12-2014, 06:00 PM

Zenki 95, if you call paint shops and even some paint stores, grap a color book and bring the advan with you. If that doesn't work, grab a pint of silver and start adding slowly colors to tint to your desired color

zenki 95 · 11-13-2014, 06:46 PM

Yea figured Ill just take a wheel to a reputable paint shop to match thanks man^^^

Spach · 01-05-2015, 08:29 PM
