rosso Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Sort of a dark silver. I would love to redo mine but local parts stores do not stock any color that is close. I redid the wagon tailgate since it is far enough away from the rest that you don't notice it. It's a bit brighter and silverish. Quote Link to comment
RLJ Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Previous owner panted mine black. I thought they were polished or chromed underneath, no? Quote Link to comment
RLJ Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Or plating of some kind. Cad plating was real popular back then. Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I am not sure what the coating may be, definitely not shiny chrome. Regardless of that, I would like to paint some of them that need repair to match the other stock ones that are fine. Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 All of the Datsun trim panel rails were painted a medium silver. Unless you are doing a nut & bolt full on restoration, I would just bring one in to the parts store & find something close! You won't likely find an exact match, so paint them all to match! 😎 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Thanks TJ, the local selection here in Port Angeles is very thin so no matches or anything even close. I was hoping to order something, but have no idea what is a close match for duplicolor and their charts are unreliable - that's why I asked if anyone knew. Quote Link to comment
