Sup people. Im getting my car painted on monday. Im a little stuck on what color to get. Ive been thinkin about that color the 350z's are comin in. They call it "lemans sunset effect" in the color book. You know, its that kinda golden orange color. But anyways, has anyone ever seen a 240 that color and if so does it look good? If not, what do you think. I drive a '90 with a '92 front bumper. Im open to any suggestions. Upload some pics if ya got em. I uploaded a pic of the color im talkin about. Thanks guys.

I believe that I've seen a 240 in a similar color (it seemed very close)... let me see if I can find it... the only thing that I didn't like about it that I can remember was the body kit that was on it...

FOUND IT!

An correction: the only thing that I didn't like about it was the widebody kit (I've never liked how most widebody kits bolt on to the rear... if I was to do it I'd mold it into the body for a smooth fit and look )

Well, if your cars is fast enough, and if you hit at least 80mph every time you enter highway. and also if you have good radar detection systems like Valentine One, THEN:

GET A BLACK PAINT., NO GLOSSY NO NOTHING, JUST PLAIN BLACK. SO YOU CAN DIFFUSE AND ABSORB MOST OF THE DIRECT LASERS AND AVOID FALSE ALARMS FROM YOUR DETECTOR FROM SUN RAYS.

since its your car, it has to satisfy your pleasure, so just get the paint you want.

I believe dark glossy paints fit 240sx way better. make sure you can see yourself in the paint. GLOSSY!!

i only said this because we get the "which color poll" like everyday it seems. i personally love that color, but only on the 350z. but dont let our opinions sway your decision, just as long as your color floats your boat. thats all that matters.

Has anyone actually got proof that flat and/or matte black paint do anything to 'modify' the radar gun's waves?
