DATSUN 240Z-260Z-280Z US Paint Code Gallery

This page is primarily for people like me who want to repaint their car an "original" color and would like to see how they actually look on a real Z. I've started to double up on some of the colors (where available). I'm hoping that with multiple examples the differences in lighting and other camera effects will "average out" to give a better idea of how it should really look. Also I've now added some scans of PPG paint chips for comparison to the photos. Cool huh? Oh by the way please feel free to send me any corrections if something looks wrong, or send me digital images of any of the missing colors!
