Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Stick with a non-metallic paint. Simple colors fit the character of these vintage Datsun trucks better than anything flashy. The same green is a great color, but don't you have enough of those in your collection? Maybe time to switch it up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm trying to convince him to flip the pattern on his coupe to 524/525 red on the outside with pistachio guts 😄 Edited May 27, 2020 by BrothersGarage 4 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 If it's a vehicle that will probably never get more than a hundred miles from home, no spare needed. Especially if you have AAA or a trailer sitting at home. 4 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Your truck is sweet and if I owned it it would travel in an enclosed trailer so it does not get any rock chips or vandalism/graffiti. 1 Quote Link to comment
