does anyone here know exactly the paint code for the silver used on the gt500 shelby in gone in sixty seconds?? im keen on getting this color for my next 1200, its the most awesome color!!! any help would be appreciated??

thanks

mik.

I.ve been kicking the idea around of doing mine silver for a long time. The trouble is there are so many variations some look good others look #$@%.

Just get her back to bare metal / file finished and hit it with about 50 coats of clear

The GT 500 in 60 seconds was not a real one. It was built by Chip Foose Design and featured a few subtle changes including the larger dia Halibrand wheels. In my copy of the movie to my tired old eyes the car looks more gold than silver. The PPG code for the 67 GT500 colour Silver Frost is 32520. Have a search on the net for Chip's site and send him an email.

Look at that 20 posts before I actually post something useful

Paint Codes
Body - Pepper Grey Metallic - Dupont Fleet 44490
Stripes - Black Metallic - Dupont Fleet 44435
Anyone else think a 1200 coupe could make a good eleanor replica ;)



*drool*
Paint codes are fromhere

Yeah Im going for silver myself, this shade looks awsome, but the R32 Jet Silver GTR colour looks great too, especially with 14" black 5 spoke Reflex racing wheels. Anyone with photosop like to make up some different color schemes on a 1200 racing coupe with the flare kit?

hehe thats the idea, i want my own eleanor dammit, and thats why i want a lumpy sounding motor too! i think its an original idea in a datsun 1200 coupe sense!! lol thatnks heaps for the info guys ima take all this information down. it is an awesome color isnt it? dont know bout the stripes on a 1200 though, ill c how the silver turns out first.

I had my old 1000 coupe painted in a couple of different shades of silver,one was Sunny silver which looked average but the other silver was hot,it was a tint that the man at the paint shop made (they do that) so there was no Paint code.It had heaps of sparkle in it and was quite aggressive,looked crap until I cut n polished it correctly....with 1000 wet and dry sand paper.

Yep, lots of silvers don't look so good.

AFracer's silver coupe and the famous Silver Sunny Excellent (pics in the Photo Album) look great in photo.

I also like the gray primer Japan racer in the Photo Album. And I like Ford Mustang gray/dark silver/charcoal metallic paint from around 1990.

I used the silver and blue colour scheme from the TWR team volvo racing BTCC cars on my 1200. I reckon it looks not half bad.

Silver looks great on a 12.

ive seen a couple of 1200 coupes and utes running around sydney in silver, of all the ones ive seen the lighter more bullet silver ones tend to catch the eye more. but originality is more respectable so im thinkin a more charcoaly silver.

benny the 1200 in ur pic looks nice:D.
