look at the rear wheel, the tires purple, i guess the painter just felt lazy and didnt cover it. and some random parts of the chrome rims.
photoshop can do wonders.

but if thats the true paint, yeah i admit its a nice color.

evomike · 07-08-2010, 01:37 AM

It's not photoshopped color the purple on the tires is the paint reflecting off of tires with a ton of tire shine on them.

Chopaholic · 07-12-2010, 02:37 AM

Does anyone have a paint code for it or something similar then?

Shift_grip · 07-12-2010, 03:31 PM

Smoky Granite Mica

or Matador Red Mica

Mr.KA · 07-15-2010, 12:35 AM

s13ways · 07-15-2010, 01:47 AM

For anyone looking for a certain color of a certain car:

Call a paint store and if you know the year and brand of the car you can usually ask them for the color code, if you just know that its a "nissan" or "maserati" or whatever color then head down to any paint supply store and flip through a color book. They list them by year and manufacturer so its VERY easy to find them. If you don't know what manufacturer or anything like that and you just want some color then flip through the color books and I guarantee you will find what you are looking for.

I used to have TONS of color books from like 1968 all the way up to 2010 and misplaced them all somehow when I moved haha

GripTerror · 07-16-2010, 04:00 PM

Does anyone know EXACTLY the paint that ichiba's 240 here has:

Lovely Idol Inc. · 07-16-2010, 06:37 PM

Yes, it's absolutely silver. No doubt about it

dub40sx · 07-16-2010, 08:29 PM

Thats evident

I think the actual paint code is
S1LV3R

it has the same paint as the 07 350z, and maybe like the newer BMW's

silviaguy240 · 07-19-2010, 11:42 AM

GM has a similar color called carbon flash that looks like that, has some hints of blue and green in it too depending on the batch.

Lovely Idol Inc. · 07-19-2010, 02:43 PM

That ford black is pretty sweet, good luck matching it perfectly though

mysharonna · 07-19-2010, 05:59 PM

Yeah, I did a double take when I saw it. haha. I thought "Is that paint on a Taurus"? followed by, "That would be a bitch to fix".

Lovely Idol Inc. · 07-21-2010, 12:43 PM

The color pretty much has prismatic pearls in it along with metal, I mean if you can match that perfect I would say you are something of a god. I know I could get it close but not perfect

Lovely Idol Inc. · 07-21-2010, 12:53 PM

If I remember to grab it, I will post the paint code but this color looks like a candy green in person

Dress-UpCar · 07-22-2010, 04:06 PM
