Anyone know whos e30? Or what the color is?

[ColdAccord]

I need to paint my 240z. I was thinking something like this, just a tad lighter



came across this e30. so fooking hot. Anyone know the color, or where I could get in touch with someone that might know?

I think that e30 was an attempt at Avus blue ...but its not quite .

Maybe you should check out Montreal Blue or Mauritius Blue .

what companies are those from? any pics (for a general idea, obv pictures are tough to capture color)

[Slick92GS-R]

they say Avus ...

[Teaguer]

Those colors I mentioned are all BMW colors .
You can do google image search and type in BMW maritus , bmw MOntreal and try BMW Lemans too for pics of the colors .

Yes that car is supposed to be Avus but from the pics I've seen it is not a good/true representation of the OE color .

Montreal and Mauritius are BMW (Mauritius is also an audi color)

That car looks nothing like that in person. Here is a link to his for sale link from awhile back:

that looks like a nissan color to me - can't remember the name of it, but it's on the newer cars. damn hot color too. I would go to a dealership and check out their blues - you can get the name of the color too.

More food for thought. My old 240z. Matches your description of "a tad lighter."

Chevy IROC blue ?

[VacMan]

Honda Electric Blue Pearl?

well, it was actually painted at Earl Scheid of Maaco or one of those places. It was a really inexpensive paint job. It was one of their regular color options, although I don't know the name of the color.
