Green

[Red7]

I think The Original Green and Tan interior is an awesome colour scheme, I'd go as far to say my favourite, I understand you wanting a sharper green, but I'd stick OEM, maybe with a sharper/brighter metallic in it, the company I work for are Industrial paint manufacturers and we have 6 standard metallics, from Pearl right through to Glitter, the differences the same colour can look with 1-6 on it is immense .

Anyway, been and done that back in '89 - funny how fashion comes around.

Johnny if you can wait until Monday one of the girls at work has an A class in that colour. I'll take the zed into the office and get some side by side pictures for you.

Sounds perfect ... Would like to see the two colours side-by-side nearly as much as Johnny himself!

Sean's car was bogey green or sum would call it snot green,it did look cool with the silver stripe,as for fashion ,I wouldn't go that far as Sean has as much fashion as Margaret Thatchers haircut,and she is dead

I can wait for the comparison and it would be good to see. Thanks.

 

[asbojohn]

Here you go.

Let me know if you need any more.

Taken the liberty of transferring the green from the Merc onto the 240z ...

 

[Mr.G]

That's impressive..did that take long?

 

[uk66fastback]

2-3 minutes (if that). Probably longer to upload and link from my Photobucket account than to do!

Nice work.
The MB colour looks very similar to the 302 metallic green then:

 

[johnymd]

Thanks for the pictures. I do like the look of yours.

Nice work Mike on the color change.
John, can't go wrong with either I think. Factory has the retro look and the Merc has a little more modern feel to me.
Wheels will further enhance either color.

I'm still a little confused about the colour. I'll get the car out of the workshop this afternoon and look at the colour code. I'm thinking its 113. Like this car:

[Mr.G]

that's the same colour as mine.. To be honest with you John if you care about the future value of her I'd go original Datsun green, it's not as if you are changing the colour that drastically by going for the Merc green anyway.

I went over the workshop this afternoon to get the green car out and ended up stripping all the suspension and brakes off the black car. I was just going to replace a few bushes and steering gaiters but its escalated to ball joints, track rod ends, and ALL the bushes so I may as well get it all powder coated while its off. Looks like it will be another couple of weeks before I get on with the green one so I have a little longer to ponder the colour choice.

I don't see a black car in your extensive list ...
