Identifying a possibly custom color based on one photo (even with a couple pics) is pretty difficult. This could be a stock Nissan color... or a color from another model or a color from a paint catalog or a totally custom mixed color.

If you like the color, bring in the pic to show to your painter before your car gets painted or track down the owner and ask him/her. Maybe they'll tell you if they know.

It's a 1997 Nissan 240SX owned by Masashi Motonaga.

Here is his Photobucket.

This site lists the car's mods (no mention of a repaint). He also mentions on 240SXForums.com in 2005 that he has a pic (which I couldn't view because I'm a new member) of the car when he got it stock.

Which leads me to believe it's a stock color that you often don't see in good condition, much less the ultra reflective condition shown in the Zaino pics.

1997 Nissan 240SXes came in the following colors:

Ultra Red (AJ4)
Starfire Blue Pearl (BN6
Cobalt Green Pearl (DN1)
Super Black (KH3)
Silver Moss (KR5)
Deep Fuschia (LS1)
Aspen White Pearl Glow (WK0)
