Black, but I do like that 240 in silver!

OEM factory gray

Factory grey.

Not black!

You guys think it would look better in the factory grey than the black?

Yes, I think the factory gray is the best option mentioned. It will be close to original, and in my opinion, by far the most appealing. Black would be a bit too much......

Once you go black...so maybe just paint it grey...if not...go gray....

I like the rear panel body color, but only *prefer* it on a car with an integrated bumper body kit, like the MSA Type 2 I'm going to be putting on this summer.

With the chrome bumpers, I definitely like the factory "suede" finish dark gray.

I'd go with the black or the grey personally.

Factory grey.

I realize this is an old post, but need to paint the back panel. What is factory gray, does anyone have a sample paint code, or heck even a can of spray paint that I can buy at Lowes to use as a guide. Doesn't have to be exact, just close.

Also, the front grill, was it a flat black, satin black or a gloss black, or really what looks best.

Thanks.

My votes:

1st Choice: Factory Grey

2nd Choice: Gunmetal Metallic

3rd Chioce: Semi-Gloss Black

4th Choice: Body Silver (looks too "modern" for my taste...)

The front grill was the same color as the rear panels. All of these parts were originally a medium-dark, matte finish gray. You can a pre-mixed spray can from Classic Datsun Motorsports that is designed to be a very close custom match to the original color, but it runs $28 per can + shipping.

If strict originality is not required, there are plenty of commercially available graphite colors that would look acceptable, although finding one that isn't a gloss finish can be tougher. (Gloss just doesn't look right to me, personally.)
