Patcon Posted January 23, 2018 Share #14 Posted January 23, 2018 I believe this is the product 26th-z is referring to. the real problem is that by the time you buy all the ingredients you will have a significant amount of money tied up in it and probably enough material to make a sprayable gallon. It does not appear to be a catalyzed product, so pretty easy to spray DDL DURACRYL® is a fast dry, acrylic based lacquer system designed for repair of motor vehicles.

siteunseen Posted January 24, 2018 Share #15 Posted January 24, 2018 Do you guys think there's a difference in the 240 & 280s color? I was thinking the 280s are more of blackish color but I'm color dumb. My 280's faded all to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcb280z Posted January 24, 2018 Share #17 Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Looks the same here though. At least the color does. Edited January 24, 2018 by rcb280z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went looking for a cheap, easy to obtain over the counter solution that would not require the expense of a body shop. Something better than the previous aftermarket solutions that might not be able to be distinguished from the original by all but maybe the most discerning experts. The topic question has to do with correct color, not how cheap you can be with something close. Studegard seems to think that what he bought is too light even though it is supposed to be 'correct'. Can we please stick to the topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ-240z Posted January 24, 2018 Share #22 Posted January 24, 2018 I think everyone is overthinking the correct hubcap, grill, and tail light surround color and how to match it. I purchases a rattle can of paint from Les at Classic Datsun Motorsports and it is almost a perfect match of color, texture, and low gloss as compared to the original. I have a set of NOS D-caps, and a NOS grill which are the exact same color. When compared to a set of D-caps I restored with new chrome and paint from Les, judges could apparently not tell any difference. If you really want to get into the weeds, the edge where paint and chrome meet on NOS D-caps is what I call a soft edge with no tape line. Good paint suppliers have a rope like product used to mask this edge and create this soft paint edge. attached is a picture of a NOS D-cap on the left beside my restored D-cap on the right. Just my thoughts! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegard Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share #23 Posted January 25, 2018 I have not been able to get back to this thread since my original post but have been keeping track of all the posts. Thanks to everyone for their input. I sure have many options at this point and am very pleased with all the very helpful responses. I'm new to the Z community ( purchased a 1970 Vin #509 this past November) and doing a total restoration. I'm sure I'll have many more questions. This is certainly the "Go To" place . Thanks again to all. Larry Quincy,MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
