izzo Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 where is this color code at, I looked and nothing is saying color code on the 68 goon. :blink: Did you check on the thing? :rofl: I heard it was on the fender tag, but unno man. it might be on a sticker on the core support, which is usually faded so you can't tell.

KELMO Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 The only orange codes I could find are; Orange #918 which has no year model attached to it and Orange #022 which shows to start at 08/71 and I would call that 1972. Then there are some others Safari Brown: 906 Houston Yellow: 910 Green: 911 Light Gold: 938 Olive: 939 White: 018 Yellow: 019 Beige: 020 Black: 505 There are more, I'm just gettin lazy Quote Link to comment

qwik510 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 My original paint 1972 510 is 918 orange. Production date is 7/71. The paint code is located on a decal on the top of the radiator core support. On the earlier cars, they actually stamped the code into the core support. Here is my 1970 2 door code. It actually had another decal over top of the stamped code and the paint code decal was on the left side of the core support. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
dAty_dIvA Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 lil helpful hint.... you can always call the Nissan dealership with the VIN, if it was the original color. PLUS....because there's many times multiple colors with slight differences, you can always call around to paint stores OR direct to PPG or whoever your using and have them cross reference the paint codes (once you've found them). Remember....since these vehicles are older, they were using acrylic enamel or laquer....and many companies try to "recreate" these colors because they didn't make chips, but they aren't close.....so ALWAYS.....ALWAYS......ALWAYS have your paint distributor mix a few ounces ( they CAN, dammit) to see if you've got the right shade. (mos stores can mix as little as 1 oz to several 5 gallon pails) ps....If your distributor mixes a few ounces (about a touchup bottle or so), keep in mind that this small amount should be used as a guide....some shades use very little tint in a mix and can look a bit off if they mix too little.

Shagy Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I know I'm going to catch hell for bringing up a old ass thread.. but is this color here .. Is this a paint code of 563, 567 or maybe 562? sora blue? http://dimequarterly..._paintcodes.jpg the same as my wagon here? Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I PM's you. My blue car is 567. Well at least the engine bay was still 567. The car was painted at some point and while the color is close, the exterior is a bit darker then the engine bay. Your wagon seems more aqua colored but it may just be the lighting.

Shagy Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 my cel camera SUCKS and I dont know how to get better pictures out of it. I buffed part of the fender the other day. I dont see it stamped on anything. Does the stamp go deep enough to see it on the under side? Is the stamp hidden under any of the stickers? Quote Link to comment

If it is stamped, it is under the sticker to the right on the core support. Mine was under the sticker you show in your photo. I doubt you can feel it from underneath. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 i'm trying to reproduce that sticker, if I can I'll peel if off and see. I'll try and get a better picture to compare to your blue car. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 took these photos yesterday to see if the color shows up a little better via the phone. I tried to get a touch up bottle but no one wants to make one. All the shops I called want to make a pint... I'm leaning towards 563 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 This is 562, I don't think you have this color, your Vehicle looks a bit too blue for 562. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Got any more angles of it? I washed the car today and took some photos in the sun and shade. Pulled the mirror off to find an un faded section. I'm still leaning towards sora blue. Where can I get a 8oz paint sample? Quote Link to comment
pondking Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 what color code is this? Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Nighttime color is not a good way to gauge. Take a daytime photo with a sheet of white or grey paper Quote Link to comment

housew Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 wow this is an old thread. but its right up my alley. I have an illegible sticker, but maybe the code is stamped in the rad support. I'll be looking when i get home. My car is light blue. Its has a build date in 7/69 and has the 69 dash / other touches and titled as a 70. To my knowledge 563 was a 69 color, and 567 was the 70 color, and they are close. I'm trying to figure it out. My cars been repainted previously but it has always been close to the factory color, I just want to get it right. also after i figure out what the code is, what do i do with that? If i wanted to paint it myself would an auto paint supplier be able to mix it up based on the color code or would they need more information? Quote Link to comment
Loren O Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 My goon has had the front clip replaced at some point. That pretty much canceled our any chance of using the stamp, or sticker for the paint code. My car has been repainted too. Not quite the correct shade either. The interior panels & door jams are original though. Olive green/army green. Do any of you know that paint code? Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 The above link died. Go here: http://autocolorlibrary.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1972-Datsun-pg01.jpg Scroll down and look at the color chart. There were 4 orange colors in 72. Find the one you want and make a note of the PPG number. Look at page 2 of the color chart, match the numbers up, and it lists the OEM number on the chart. Any auto paint shop worth a damn should have that color chart, or a similar Dupont, or other manufacturers chart. Quote Link to comment
