identifying this 240Z paint colour

Featured Replies

Hi, I’m trying to identify the grey metallic paint used on this restored 1973 Datsun 240z

The dealer who sold the car hasn’t responded to my questions about the paint code.

Does anyone recognize this colour, or know of a modern automotive paint that looks very similar?

I’m not necessarily looking for an original Datsun colour — I’m mainly trying to reproduce the look of this particular car.

If anyone knows the colour or can suggest a manufacturer and paint code that might be a close match, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Internet color pictures aren’t the best to judge, but this looks a lot like the silver on the new Z.

Also looks a lot like the rattle can silver “we” like to use for 240z tail light panels/hub caps/grills…..
