i painted mine medium concord blue, its a little of a darker color, but in the sun it gets a lot lighter. Its a dupont paint so its a lot cheaper than that electron blue, thats what i wanted, but it was doubvle the price a gallon. O well whatever you choose make sure you like it.

also, pictures don't do the daytona blue justice, it really is a color you should see in person. call some nissan dealers, and find one with a daytona blue Z on the lot, and go look at it. the ones i have seen in person are really briliant.

That Nissan daytona blue looks awesome. Sunset orange metallic is also a great color. Personally I think I'd go with SOM, but thats my opinion

Im changing mine I think this winter so go for my silver color of youlike it. I may go to the Sunset orage color but I hate the way it looks in gloomy weather. it just looks dull. Maybe Ill brighten it up. The new VW's have a lot of nice looking colors. drive by a few dealerships and check out the new cars.

I guess I'm old school style, I'll stick with a good black.

Nothing shines like it.

Just an idea.
