Emperor Ming Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hi Guys Has anyone else seen an ORANGE zed???? I saw a Zed going the other way today in town. It was NOT the bronze colour but a mid to pale ORANGE. It also did not seem to be metallic but a base colour like the red and yellow ones are!!!!!!! Not sure wether I liked it or not but it was certainly different. I don't think it was a re spray but who knows! Any ideas Ming the Curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Is it just me, or is this paint too close to "RAC Van Orange" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Is it just me, or is this paint too close to "RAC Van Orange" Oi, less of that you lot It is a really bizarre colour. Bright, flat orange in some lights, deeply pearlescent in bright sunlight and peach in low light levels. Attached photo was overcast and has the car looking its best.

Yellow is not a base colour - "The new Ultra Yellow exterior color utilizes a new high-luminance and high-chroma pearl pigment and three layers of top coat (with separate color pigment and pearl pigment layers) to create an almost “liquid†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signwizard Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Blancmange, is a sweet dessert commonly made with milk or cream and sugar thickened with gelatin or cornstarch, and often flavored with almonds. It is usually set in a mould and served cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 The new Temper Orange (or solar orange is most other countries) really grows on you. As you say Polarbear, the colour changes. I think in that manner it is rather similar to the Le Mans Sunset, each light it's quite a different colour, anything from goldy in very bright direct light, to brown as is the TO, goldy to bright orange, or flat orange. I think as Nissan discontinued the LMS, they had to come up with something else similar but too much so & something distinctive. TO is a good replacement colour in my opinion.

bronzee Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Have a look at this site, completely devoted to "Solar Orange" or "Temper Orange" as you UKites call it. http://www.bad350z.com/index.html There is also a really nice Solar Orange show car on my350z.com, check out Vertex350's Z. Pretty full on, but cool. http://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245307&page=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
