…and if you are wondering, the reason I started the body work there is because whether you are behind me or in front of me when I am in the Z, you are already or soon to be looking at my rear end!

Talk to Les Cannaday about the correct paint which they used in the Nissan 240Z resto program. He carries this paint for the rear panels, grill and original wheel covers. I also recommends powder coating if you want it to hold up longer, for instance the grill.

Are you sure the WP102 paint is correct?

I sprayed a spare grille with some, and the color looks fine, but it looks like it has metallic particles in it.

Yes, that is the color # I used for the grille, wheel covers and tail finisher, except mine got 2 light coats of clear matt finish. Toned the 'metalic' look down to where it is not noticable. Give that a try, see what you think.

I have some Rustoleum BBQ paint left and sprayed some onto a test panel. I think it looks close.

It does, but you can 'tame' that with the Clear Matte spray. It looks great.
