datsunfreak Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 This might be same/similar as the one above, but as memory serves is a closer representation. Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Your first post looks a little more orange than the car in your second post actually. I'll scan that brochure I have which has paint chips and codes on it. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Your first post looks a little more orange than the car in your second post actually. Yeah, I think the color morphed from '79 (second pics) to '81 (first pics). I believe it's definitely the '79 color I'm looking for. The car I want to replicate was a '79, but I'd probably be happy with either... I'll scan that brochure I have which has paint chips and codes on it. Super! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Ok here's the paint chips and codes from the 210 brochure I have. I'm going to scan the brochure in its entirety and post where I put the catalog and service manual I made PDFs of. You can find those here. The brochure will follow soon. There's a brown car on the cover. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/49640-1981-datsun-210-manual-pdfs/ EDIT: Brochure PDF is now up Quote Link to comment

SlammedSunny Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The codes colourbox posted still work, I punched 842 into my Dupont computer at work and Voila!1980-83 nissan light brown. It could be a 1980 color, Nissan 824, Fawn brown also.... Quote Link to comment
SlammedSunny Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 There are a couple 1979 nissan colors i can find in my system , but there is no color referance chip so im not sure what they actually look at unless I mix up the paint. Code 647 Autumn Brown code 668 buckskin The names provided are from Dupont, and may or may not reflect the same names nissan gave these colors. In paint, the code means everything, the name means very little. Quote Link to comment

FWIW, "Buckskin" is what's on the car now, so I KNOW that's not it. :rofl: From looking at a few sources, Autumn Brown looks like a winner. This is listed as Autumn Brown on a '78 B210 van: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Have you looked at this site? http://www.ratdat.com/?p=340 That shows an #824 Orange that's somewhat close... And a #647 Brown... Quote Link to comment
