After having a really weird dream last night, I’ve decided that i think i’m going to keep the 240 for a while as a “shitty car”. I would use it if i needed to go downtown, or somewhere not super safe, as it doesn’t look “b000wlinnnnnnn” Anyway… I think that i want it white, but do i REALLY want one red, one white, and one blue car? Can i REALLY handle that level of patriotism? ![http://www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/flags/puertorico/flagbig.GIF](http://www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/flags/puertorico/flagbig.GIF) The only other colors i can think of is a sort of test run of the “urban green” that i am painting the Bimmer with. ![http://farm1.static.flickr.com/4/9191943_b9f57f9abf_b.jpg](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/4/9191943_b9f57f9abf_b.jpg) Yesterday at canalfest there was a camaro with some weird brownish green paint. Any idea what that color might be? Or maybe the orange color that 350Zs come with: ![http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-mno/Nissan-350Z-Sunset-Orange-brick-roadster-1024x768.jpg](http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-mno/Nissan-350Z-Sunset-Orange-brick-roadster-1024x768.jpg) Thoughts? The orange might “pop” more than i want it to… not really achieving the subtle look i want. but the green is subtle… or should i just do white? other suggestions? ---

If it’s gonna be a beater, white. Doesn’t show dents and a monkey could make it look straight. What year Camaro? If it’s like a 70/71/72ish car I think I know the color. ---

Bah, they all look like terds 😛 But the first cars, the “classic” Camaro’s, like Joe’s, had these paint colors: 1967 ![http://1stgencamaro.net/gallerytwo/d/22-2/1967_chevrolet_pg01.jpg](http://1stgencamaro.net/gallerytwo/d/22-2/1967_chevrolet_pg01.jpg) 1968 [http://1stgencamaro.net/gallerytwo/d/27-2/1968\_chevrolet\_pg01.jpg](http://1stgencamaro.net/gallerytwo/d/27-2/1968_chevrolet_pg01.jpg) 1969 ![http://1stgencamaro.net/gallerytwo/d/33-2/1969_chevrolet_pg01.jpg](http://1stgencamaro.net/gallerytwo/d/33-2/1969_chevrolet_pg01.jpg) This is what I was thinking of: ![http://www.giocars.com/giordano/images/70%20Camaro%20RS%20Green/P1010006.jpg](http://www.giocars.com/giordano/images/70%20Camaro%20RS%20Green/P1010006.jpg) ---

if you are planning on selling it you may not wish to do a niche colour like that green or burnt orange. go with something tamer and more marketable like a black or white or a sharp gun metal. I cant imagine you are going to remain interested enough in 4 cars to keep them all and your 240 is definately the least interesting of the bunch. ---

You HAVE to paint it purple (mix of blue and red… duh), the same scheme from M.A.S.K. character’s Venesa… ![http://www.albertpenello.com/mask/manta1.jpg](http://www.albertpenello.com/mask/manta1.jpg) I have always seen it listed as a 240, but it is obvioulsy a Z31. The other option is the two anniversary schemes, Black and Gold two tone or the Blue and Silver. ![http://www.cartype.com/images/page/280zx_fs.jpg](http://www.cartype.com/images/page/280zx_fs.jpg) ![http://www.spencer1984.com/image/m125a.jpg](http://www.spencer1984.com/image/m125a.jpg) For some perverted reason I have like the two tone look on 240s.
