cocoa brown z

[zswap0429]

I got my hands on a cocoa brown vert z last year not knowing a damn thing about the color. I just recently realized how rare my car was especially with the low miles i got it at.
But sadly my z was backed into and requires some front end body work. Can i order the factory color from nissan or will the shop have to mix on there own and hope for the best?

After 23 years of sun bleaching, the paint will be so faded that you won't be able to perfectly match it. Some shops have a paint scanner tool, but the best bet would most likely be a full professional respray.

A good body shop should be able to match it and blend it in without much issue. I love me some cocoa brown on the Z!

Pics please.

[zswap0429]

Yeah I guess I'll go with letting my buddy match it. Don't have the $$$ for a full respray yet.

[Ace2cool]

Pics please.

The proper way to pose this question is:



And it is quite the valid accusation.

[zswap0429]

You guys happy now?

[Afi]

Nice! Now we wants pics of the inside

[Ace2cool]

Ooooh, I forgot you said it was a vert. That thing is DAMNED rare. Also, location says Okinawa, but you have a LHD model. Military?

[zswap0429]

No pictures of the inside... its not the "white" interior anymore anyways which im guessing is what you wanted to see.

And the car is in ga. Im deployed to japan right now. Im a marine

Oh, Ooorah and all that moto stuff then. Former AT2 (Navy) here. Glad to have you. Ospreys, I take it? What's your MOS? I was working on Navy F-18's.

Straight infantry here. Stuck on ship though... Waste of government resources. But anyways hooyah to you brother.

Wait.... what? It had white interior stock? And someone changed it? Soooooo confused

[Rager]

Oh and some jdm.tail lights would be like a g string spliting a professional dancers cheeks

[zswap0429]

Not white exactly. The light tan with suede interior. Its just listed as "white" and the suede was all water stained so it was irreplicable. So the interior is all the grey/black carpet s***. But thats one of the things on the top of my list to change.
And i agree the jdm tailights would look good. But so do the usdm... the cocoa is one of the few that looks good with the orange turn signals. Plus mine are slightly smoked to match the 3rd tail light strip.

But this comes first...

[zswap0429]

Btw... im trying to get a jdm style front bumper for this... anyone know who sells them cheap? I was thinking z1 just because i wont have to pay shipping.

[DCaff300ZX]

Most any place you can get a jspec will be close in price, I haven't noticed anyone really any lower than anyone else so Z1 or CZP would be good options.
Too bad about your Z...so rare and sweet! Years ago the owner of a tobacco shop I used told me he had a cocoa vert Z with 18K miles, sure enough one day he brings it in and I caught him and got to check it out...you both are lucky guys.
Show us the repaired pics when you get it done!

She is beautiful man absolutely beautiful, one of the few colors I would trade mine for.

[zswap0429]

Dcaff: thanks man i think ill go with z1 when i get back. And i honestly had no idea how lucky i was when i got it... i thought i was settling when i bought it. Turns out im one of the 102 luckiest guys in america (already found one broken and junked)
Pictures as soon as its fixed
Nolimit: yeah i agree. I have a blue and the cocoa and i would rather drive my cocoa
