kneesamo Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Looking for a good source for that Datsun blue the L-series blocks came with from the factory. Ben Quote Link to comment

Colbino Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I went with the engine paint from datsun parts.com, part number 1255. It's a bit expensive, but all restorations are. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 go get reg GM blue. its the closest you can get to factory without special order from datsunparts.com you can look up my 240z turbo build to see pics of my L28et block painted with it Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I chose what I deemed to be the closest thing to the Datsun blue/green. Here's a shot of my block. It's the Dupli-color Engine Enamel: Pontiac Blue. Very close the the blue/green they baked on at the factory. Here is a dinky little picture of an oil filter with the factory Datsun paint on it. Not exact, but pretty comparable, if you ask me. ;) Quote Link to comment
The Stig Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Actually you can get a "Tremclad" like enamel base that's tint-able and most auto body supplies have a scanner that can scan the original colour off of a bracket or some other sample. I think thats what Dean did anyway, Ross at Sports Imports made some years ago and it looked genuine. The GM colours aren't that close when compared side by side. Quote Link to comment
