I use these two: Ford Dark Shadow Gray and then spray over that with matte clear. This is what Les at Classic Datsun Motorsports recommended. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57799-to-buy-or-not-to-buythat-is-the-question/?page=8#findComment-602371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red67 Posted July 9, 2020 Share #87 Posted July 9, 2020 Thank you for quick response, I've heard that is what to use. If you wouldn't mind sharing, what was your technique for the chrome surround by taillights? Thanks!

I use the NEVR-DULL on a number of items.

red67 Posted July 9, 2020 Share #89 Posted July 9, 2020 Sorry to bug you on this, but I have this next on the agenda. Did you tape to the edge, or over-tape, then cut it back? If you follow what I'm trying to say? Thanks!

I tape to the edge, slightly over. If I go too far over, I trim off excess with a razor blade. Also use the razor blade a lot...for clean-up and trimming. Have it attached to a magnet on my tool box.

red67 Posted July 9, 2020 Share #91 Posted July 9, 2020 Got it! Thank you! Looks darker in the pictures, than my buddies Shadow Gray Mustang. Probably lighting.

Small with brake off blade that extends out 4" at least. Olfa wallpaper knife I got in 1987 is in my tool bag today. You never lose the good stuff.

motorman7 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share #93 Posted July 23, 2020 Things are moving along now. Headliner should arrive today, so should have that installed tonight and windshield in on Saturday. Also waiting for Dash, exhaust system and air cleaner. 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57799-to-buy-or-not-to-buythat-is-the-question/?page=8#findComment-603258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorman7 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share #95 Posted July 23, 2020 Thanks, most of the parts were there. I just clean'em up, re-plate stuff, or re-paint, then assemble. I like jdm-car-parts.com for parts that I have to replace.
