mrbigtanker Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 It's a stock color now, why mess with a good thing. :thumbup: It does have dents and the bottom of the passenger door has rust.I want something stock but a little brighter,like you Wayno i like my red's and i like black so we will see what direction i go.

I can't argue with your line of thought, basicly I was saying that it is a stock color, and have it repainted that color after you fix the dents and modify the skirts, ect, as it would be easier, as you wouldn't have to do the door jams, ect. But I also have my favorite colors, and since it is your truck, you should paint it the color you want, as that is usually what I do. Our datsun trucks and cars came in certain colors, and one of them 521 colors is RED, I cannot recall ever seeing a stock BLACK one before though, black is a tough color for a datsun pickup, there a so many spot weld dimples on our trucks, to much work for me.

mrbigtanker Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 You sir are correct with black,that will be one ugly or one nice paint job.Red sounds like the way I will go plus door jams and all that will get painted anyway I'm stripping it down to the bones.All in due time my friend.
