colours, colours, colours!

Hi Khughes, Im just in the process of getting my c110 painted the darker nissan grey. Cant wait to see what it will look like. I was planning to paint the engine bay either the same color or black to match cam covers etc

[KGC210]

I can get the paint code for my 1979 C210 which is in Silver and I guess simular to the older ones. Also here in England you can take any paint code in the world almost and get them to make up how ever much you want at the decent paint shops.

Both bad pics of the car but give an idea of the colour.

KGC210 - what is that monstrosity on the boot of your car??

[KGC210]

Thats not there now, was just an idea that didn't work, so dont worry.

Will be having a rear spoiler but more subtle.

Go with something more JDM.

i don't know about the bayside blue, it did cross my mind, but i just couldn't visualise a blue C110..

Kent, have you already decided on a colour? because blue dont look too bad.

This ones supposed to be green, but looks dark grey on my monitor.

yeah i am still 90% sure i am going to go with the S15 Silver, only because now i have my engine painted sand brown (meant to be gold), it looks so good against the S15 Silver engine bay!

so i am looking at S15 silver, with black GTR fenders, Black mirrors and charcoal coloured 16x7 SL15 superlites (assuming an ET12 and backspace of 112mm fits)

[khughes]

guys.. i have had a huge about face on the colour

i made the mistake of studying the C110 GT-R in Gran Tourismo 4 on the PS2, and you can get the car in silver, white and red... although it isn't hugely realistic but the red looked fantastic compared to the other colours... especially with the black fenders/mirrors etc.

so i am pretty keen on the original red colour... does anyone have any leads on how i could find out the original C110 2000GTR red colour code?

[Alfadog]

Red, geez. That'll sure be different! Bold, I like it. I will try to get the code. Miles, do you know the code for C10 red? That's probably the same or very similar. Perhaps Alan Thomas would know...

[Datstan]

Any luck on that C110 or C10 paint code? surely nissan would know if ya gave them a ring

[khughes]

Yep, lachlan found the GTR codes and posted them in another topic (these forums are a bit all over the place..)

they are:

Red: 163

White: 024

Silver: 258

How about this???

Actually, that green doesn't look bad on 510's.

How about this?

Not the greatest picture obviously, but still get an idea of paint combo. I actually like this. I wonder how he got those wide front wheels/tires to work without rubbing?
