I found this pic on Cheston's site, I think this is the silver Jamie was referring to in the thread about silver Maximas. Anyone know the official name of this color?

(Note: I'm a bit colorblind, so if this isn't exactly silver don't stone me to death )

 

Actually, I think that may be the platinum iris color that was offered in either 95 or 96. I just don't think the "iris" part comes through very well in the photo.

 

FYI,

I've seen 97s with this color as well, which makes me think it was offered from 95 to 97 or 96 to 97.....

 

It could be Sterling Mist, could be wrong.

 

Sterling Mist is darker than that color and I don't think it was available for 95-96.

 

Sterling Mist was introduced in 1998 because I was originally looking for a Sterling Mist Maxima but found out they weren't made in 1997. Maybe Sterling Mist replaced that color.

That's a light purple color. I don't know what it's called, but I've seen it at Max Day.

 

"Helloooooo.... I think it's platinum iris" (waves hand)

 

Look at the admin try to get smart with me.

 

Like you can do anything about that. What's that saying, "don't slap the hand that feeds you." Or something like that.

 

Did I ask for your opinion?!?!?! NO!!!!!


Heheheheh :P

 

Actually I've only seen that color like 3 times.....that's the color that I wanted my max.

 

that color is phatty bloombatty

 

I know that the silver one I saw was a 95-96, but it was more of a true silver color. . . It really looked like a Mercedes Silver, but I don't know if it was custom painted or if it was stock. . . I just know it looked nice and really stood out.

 

So waht do you call this

THAT is Sterling Mist...I drove up with that guy from San Diego for Maxima Day, and its the exact same color as my car (which is off course, Sterling Mist).

 

oh boy. when i get a job and working.. first thing first: getting rid of that crappy OE paint job..

i really want to go Bimmer Grey-blue.. that would be sick..

or use the OE paint code for the Benz and go that silver metallic..

pitty nissan only made maxs in grey and dark grey. :P

(another nice color: Volvo yellow. ehehe )

 

Nice sig Cheston!!!! The Moving Salad Bar

 

Benz silver!! I've always wanted to see a Max painted that color.

 

Yeah, me too, ever since I parked my car next to a Brilliant Silver E430 a year ago and compared the two

 

Chill out DAI LO! NAY AH YEH AH!


Btw, what are you plans for your engine bay? Is it finish yet? Or you will have more customization to do?

 

We all know that the Nissan paint is pretty crappy. Is it just Nissan? I have friends that have Toyotas, Acuras, and Hondas, for example, and their paint seem to hold up better than ours. If I can get the money for a new paint job, I might get a silver type of color. The real silver paint like you see on the more expensive cars. I think it would look tight on a Maxima. I thought of the blue color, but think that's a bit played out.

 

Whispers to gtr rider....its supercharged....see his sig

the new supercharged moving salad bar

 

On my vehicles registration its stated Lavender.

 

muhahahahah!!!!! Thanks funny!

 

I've got a 95 brocure in front of me, and there is no silver color listed whatsoever. so must be 96 or custom.
