Paint colour question

Post by **Christofehrzy** » Fri Jun 26, 2020 3:50 pm

Hey guys I got a quick question
My car was repainted from black to blue at some point in its life so the paint code on the car is not the correct one
I’m about to repaint my car.. and I actually ordered paint already but now I’m not sure I ordered the right one... pictures on google vary so much it’s hard to tell and I really like the blue that’s on there
Can someone take a look at the picture and tell me if you think it’s the th3 sapphire blue or the tk1 midnight blue pearl?

It looks like the blue colors for the 1990 300ZX Nissan are BJ0 Azure Blue, and TH1 Midnight Blue.

As far as I can find TH3 Cadet Blue Pearl Metallic was only used on the Nissan Axxess (minivan).

And your car doesn't appear to match any of those blues.

Oh sorry I got it mixed up i think it’s either tk3 or th1
And the car was repaint so I can’t be sure it’s a 1990 colour either

TK3 is much darker and deeper, the hood looks like a lighter TK3 but the nose panel looks too light in direct light. It doesn't look like TH1 either which is a dark blue as well. It actually looks like a non factory color.

Thanks no limit, that’s what I was afraid of
I ordered the tk3.. I do plan on painting the whole car so it’s not a game changer but i did really like this blue, minus all the primer spots haha

TK3 is a beautiful color. My first Z32 was TK3 and I always regret getting rid of it. If done right you won't be disappointed. Plus like you said its very hard to tell from photos, so your car could in fact be TK3 and the lighting is just so intense in the picture that it looks too bright.

Just doing a quick search this is a pretty good representation of TK3

Okay thanks a ton! That’s exactly the info I was looking for
Unfortunately the picture I posted is actually really close to how it looks in person as well but it’s already ordered so I’ll just have to wait and see at this point
