There has been some discussion recently about how our Patrols were painted originally. So far I have not seen any documents or info on paint schemes or colors for the 60 series sold in USA from 61-69. From my research I am coming up with the following...
-pre-64 had the entire Patrol painted in a solid color. ie engine compartment, interior, top and rims.
-pre-64 engine was painted in a off white cream color
-starting in 65 or 66 the engine compartment and interior were painted grey/blue, possibly this was as early as 63
-mid year, 64-67, primer was red in color, possibly for entire run of 60 series
-starting in 64-65-66 (?) all KL units had a white top
-starting in 67 (?) some units had white rims, both softop and hardtop
-late model (for now on the info) did not have an under coating on the body, chassis was undercoated but underside of body panels were painted same as rest of vehicle.
-colors offered; red, blue, white, green, yellow and tan
So far that is all I have....I know a paint code is here on the site but I think it was for all Datsun/Nissan vehicles at that time. Also I think two or more shades of green were available, a light pastie green and a dark blue/green but I am unsure....Anyone care to help me prove or disprove some of this info?
