Here you go.

The green paint is "paint shop" line from duplicolor. The flat black is rustoleum mixed with acetone to thin it down. We read about it in I think car craft magazine and looked easy to do with good results and it worked really good. The white stripe is just some rattle can. It was real economical for us and not so intimidating for us to do another car in the future. Painting was easy, all the work that leads up to it, wow! Wish I was doing this when I was 17.

Well I have owned this one for about 6 years and finally got around to painting it. My 17 year old son and I tackled it and it turned out ok. We definitely learned alot along the way and it sure is nice driving something that doesn't look like it came from the ghetto. He also cut out the fuel door and smoothed that out because we put a fuel cell in the hatch. Come to think of it, this might be my first post. We thought about a paint scheme and came up with this, then later it looked like an old Kawasaki look going there. Gets lots of attention as most of the Datsun up here have rusted away. Brett
