Definitely looks to be an OEM paint color. Not a color offered on any 240sx's here in the states.

My guess would be Spark Silver #KL0. (Which can be found on the Z32 300zx and R32/R33 GTR).

we have a hell of a time keeping our sponsored satin white car clean, but it is a cool look. i think where i went wrong was doing it single-stage to save $. next time i plan to do a regular base with a flat clear, might help to not let grease soak in i hope

just depends what you want i guess. i think flat metallics look pretty sick i must say[/QUOTE]

same here i did my 72 chevelle in flat charcoal grey metallic single stage and its a pain in the a$$ to keep clean, reg wash job is a 2 hour deal every last bit of water has to be gone or water spot and for some reason they dont come of flat paint to save a life. and most car detail sprays wont work the wax leaves streaks. even a california duster leaves streaks if your not super carefull, but it looks soooo sexy outside on a nice day 72 chevelle custom | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Any thoughts on Verde Chairo on a Type-X?

Fracture · 01-20-2013, 06:42 PM

Maybe if it was metallic. It seems like a very retro Italian paint to have on an s13 with a Type-x kit. There have been s13's with a brighter more turquoise paint.
Silver Green Pearl offered on the 1989-90 S13's is as close to Verde Chairo as you'll get while still being OEM. Silver Moss too ('97-98) but it's more earthy.

Sugoi_Style · 01-20-2013, 08:58 PM

That Verde Chairo is another great candidate for the Two-Tone Society. And besides, this color could look refreshing on a Type-X get up....the 500 makes it look a little light in the loafers however.

fyneyoungstunna · 01-20-2013, 10:05 PM

Hey, will you guys do a page of greens for me please. I'm trying to find some decent ones that are not the standard british racing or just dark green with a little flake.

THANKS.

fyneyoungstunna · 01-24-2013, 10:42 AM

ok Ill kick it off and get the first one started.
This might be the most hellaflush green Ive seen lately:

I'm wondering this too.

I went with GM truck Forest Green Met. Lots of metallic that looks very warm in direct sunlight.

Jaguar Racing Green Metallic is great IMO

Do you have a paint code or name for the color you used on the chevelle, it's EXACTLY what I've been wanting...

Painted my car Abyss Blue Pearl from an 05 Acura TL. Absolutely love the color.

Trying to show the different colors in different lightings, Basicly if you look at an angle onto it it looks almost black, if you look straight onto it, you can see the deep blue pearl metallic in the paint. I also love the 2013 GTR metallic blue

Jack Bauer S14 · 01-31-2013, 06:16 AM

Ohh that's a really nice B13 you have there. Congrats!!!

Just had some interlagos blue pearl base (A30) mixed up to spray an s14. I'll post photos in a week or so after it's all done.

punxva · 02-02-2013, 12:43 PM

it isn't a show car, its a throw together drift car fuck it. new kit and a few fenders later. and also has a vq35 in it now.

whitefedorafilms · 02-02-2013, 07:16 PM

My friends mixed some the original teal with who knows what. Came out like this and I just took photos in the snow earlier. It's pretty in my eyes.

I've been doing bodywork to my car for the past couple weeks in preparation for paint. My plan is for chalkboard paint. I tested the paint on part of my wrecked truck. I'm using a foam brush because I've never used a gun, plus I think the paint might be a bit thick for a gun. I did 2 coats after prepping my test panel. I had a few brush marks so I wet sanded with 1000 grit and it came out perfect looking. But a few spots started chipping as I wrote on it... I'm wondering what I can do to make it less likely to chip... More coats maybe?
