Reguardless of your final decission the current paint needs to be stripped down pretty good. In the meantime (awsome album by Helmet BTW) do the Rustoluem roller method and have some fun, or cheap spray job, with intentions of money job later. Do something fun, even this… [http://www.duplicolor.com/products/carart.html](http://www.duplicolor.com/products/carart.html) [http://cinemasupplies.stores.yahoo.net/mopadusp.html](http://cinemasupplies.stores.yahoo.net/mopadusp.html) . ---

i’ve seen some newer 350Z’s with a more dull orange…it doesn’t have that metallic hint to it…and it is a lighter shade of orange…almost like a cream orange…i think it’d be pretty rad on a 240 ---

Whatever color you decide to paint it I’d say just save yourself some time and money and get it done at Earl Scheibs. You’re not looking for a perfect paint job, you dont care about any of the jambs being painted, the body doesnt seem to have any rust or major issues and looks fairly straight and if you can always do most of the prep work, masking, dis/reassembly so the paintjob comes out nicer. ---

![http://users.adelphia.net/~cdabable/newmansbeater.jpg](http://users.adelphia.net/~cdabable/newmansbeater.jpg) Honestly I think just a darker shade of blue would look great. Like the early 90s blue used on Fords, or GM dark blue. If I get some time I’ll try to add reflections in and go from there and do the green.
