raggmann Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Has anyone seen a BRE inspired paint job on a Datsun truck? I found one of a Sunny (?). http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=print&thread=96265 I'm thinking maybe I should paint my 521 with a BRE inspiration. Thoughts?

ggzilla Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Datsun 1400 Pickup from south africa should I paint mine like this? The 1400 is a tall-roof variation of the Datsun 1200 Pickup with A14 engine (Nissan B140) Quote Link to comment

raggmann Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 My truck was originally 940 green (or 558 ?), painted white, HOT pink, then a darker green. With a razor blade (and other items) I've managed to scrape it down the the factory green in most areas. I'm thinking IF I go with patina,I'll add a distressed white roof, I'd even leave the clapped-out rockers. Here's how the fender looked once I started scraping: and a rear view: Quote Link to comment
