My friend is going to paint my car, but I need to find out the exact color of this S15...like, the paint code so he can mix it right. I don't know if anyone can, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyways...

I kinda thought it was silver moss at first...

You could always go with the gunmetal color nissan used for the S13 that I can't remember the name of, but if you're going a different color then the stock paint, who cares right?

Hey Rob, did you search to find a silver Z with the Brembos specifically, or is it just coincidence?

Oh, is he gonna paint your door jams or have they been painted already? Your engine bay is already black if I remember right...

im partial to primer gray. infact, i've decided to paint it gray with a few clear coats on it. i like that light color gray, like a dove. infact, i'll call my car the white squall.

and that color is nice on the S15.

No its just coincidence, but consider that the base model z comes with brembos (according to nissan--and I got that picture off the nissan site).

yes, door jams will be painted.

and i don't want my car a stock s13 color...i wanted it to be different. and i think it will blend well with the gunmetal wheels...only thing is i want a carbon fiber hood, but i am also a fan of solid colored cars, especially when they are a sexy color like silver stone metallic... opinions?

With silverstone metallic, both unpainted and painted cf would look nice. Its really up to you, although I'd go unpainted.

You can paint the carbon fiber if you want. Is david the one whos gonna paint your car? Because he can do candy's and i think a light silver candy color on the carbon fiber would make the hood look like silver carbon and very bad ***.

That color with a carbon fiber hood and your wheels would look hella sweet. What are you planning on doing with the interior?
