Available paint options

There were 5 paint options available from standard with Titanium Silver being by far the most popular with over half the cars having been ordered in this color. In second place is Jet Black but with only half the amount compared to the silver cars. Lastly there's Topaz Blue, Bright Red and Stratus Grey (in order of popularity) which are far rarer, with only a few 100 of each.

The Z8 could also be ordered in other colors through Individual but this was pretty rare as only 124 cars feature a color different from the standard five. By far the rarest however are the two-tone paint finishes that were available, with only 19 cars over 3 different paint combinations.
