Yes. Silver Green Pearl is the official color name. Seafoam Green is a nickname.

whats the color on this s13? I'm assuming it's the Silver Green Two-Tone, looks a little different, maybe the lighting?
thanks for clearing that up KiLLeR2001

That's either a fresh repaint of Platinum Blue Metallic or a color very similar to it. All these questions are very basic, and if you have anymore I would HIGHLY suggest reading through this thread (start on Page 1).

Blue metallic, Why doesnt anybody feel the need to look through threads anymore?

Not a repaint that's Nigel coffers s13 Silvia. He used to drift it in the down under. He is now in the process of build a sr20de to drive it around daily. And this is also one of the 2 cars I get inspiration from. If you want more info on the car look up http://engineeredtoslide.com/ for his blog lots of amazing work

Considering his engine bay is painted I wouldn't be surprised if the entire car was also repainted. Not saying its not an original two-tone, but the paint does not look like the factory original paint. Color seems a little off from Platinum Blue Metallic. Maybe its just the camera though. Either way awesome car!

[Duke89]

Pretty sure the outside is OEM paint. And I got the last name wrong Nigel coffer drifts a rx7 in the uk lol. This guy is nigle Petrie

Yes, this car is clearly silver and green.

[NorCal420sxDrifter]

That is definitely platinum blue metallic...i have the same color coupe. mine is just faded and needs a respray.

[Big Zee]

Repainted mine finally.

went from this


to this!!



I had to leave early for work so I only picked up the car, my painter sprayed the bumpers, skirts, headlight covers, and gas doors for me the afternoon I left.

I then got my buddy to paint my black trim again with some of this!

looks like this in the sun


can't wait for days off so I can peice it back togeather and wetsand/polish it up real nice.

side note, anyone know where I can get a driver side upper door trim ? the peice that the door seal attaches too ?

[NorCal420sxDrifter]

Big zee car looks awesome!!! Definitely gonna get mines resprayed.....color looks soo dope fresh!

[Big Zee]

Thank you Norcal420sxDrifter!!

I had a spray bomb made up last winter do do a bit of color cover on some rust repair I did and it wasn't even close to a match! it was like gun metal grey haha. so I was worried about the color match on the respray, but I took the color code in ( KG1/463 ) and my buddy who works at the paint shop mixed it up for me. he said there is a tad bit of differnce int he platnium blue part, he put a extra shot of irridesent in or something but he did the other color just right, then he put an extra amount of blue pearl into the honda ( ugh ) oddesy black so that little extra Kick.

anything that was black on the car gets the black paint, so the wiper shroud, wiper arms, tail lights ( the black edge around ) b pillar covers, upper door peices, mirrors, hood pin covers, and some things in the interior like the center shifter cover benzel

2 more weeks till I'm home so I can work on it again

question time though, I want to do the stripe around the car again, should I do it black ? or a royal blue ? black is OEM and nice, but royal blue would be dark enough to look oem from a bit but stand out a little up close ?

[NorCal420sxDrifter]

That blue ur buddy mixed up forsure!! that shit will look dope if u do all the black plastics that color. super clean.

First drift event of the year feels good.

IIRC, wasn't Nigel's car originally red? Then later sprayed in two tone colors?

On to the pics..
Above pictures are before.

After;



I know, I know... kinda looks ricey =\ but ehh I kind of personally like it. Haha.
