    Out of interest, just wondering if anyone has ever looked up the prices or had there Z painted in the nice camelian (i think thats how you speel it) colors. I was interested in doing this and wondered if anyone has already done this and knows the cost of having this done.

    either that or any color other then Black Red or Green, as it is currently Red and though black looks sweet all that effort to keep it clean. hmm

    I hope your sitting down >>

    cause the last time I looked, the paint your after was about $1000 per litre.
    Estimating that you may need a few litre's, add to that the cost of labour etc, your in for a very expensive time, provided you have the money to do it, & if you do, good on you, go for it.

    We used to have a member with an NA that colour........

    but I haven't seen him around for quite a while. If I remember correctly, he said you could NEVER match the paint so if you go ahead with it make sure you get more than you need to do the car so that you have plenty left over for future use.

    Also, you cannot blend in with that paint. Meaning if you need a repair you have to spray the entire panel; not that big a deal unless you happen to ding the rear quarter panel, then you are up for 3/4 of a full respray OUCH :sick:

    IMHO not a sensible colour for any car other than a pure "show car" that never gets driven.

    Instead of plain red

    why not get a custom red. Candy red looks very cool IMO

    camelian 300zx

    Hey zx299 I see that camelian NA 300 about once
    a week on Victoria road between West Ryde & Parramatta on my travels to and from work, Im sure he see's me to hehehe

    Gotta say it defiantly attracts attention!!

    The car always looks unwashed and has dirty stock wheels - oh well :wacko:

    Nice paint though, just not practical.

    Cheers
