Re: Paint codes
Were any of the colors above Patrol specific?
Also, the interior of my 63 and 67 appear to be the same. A bluish gray color. Is one the colors above the correct interior color?

Re: Paint codes
Hey mdawg, welcome to 60Patrol! 
That's a good question! I don't know if any of the colors Datsun offered were only ever used on the Patrol. I'm not sure how to get a quick answer on that. I am pretty sure that some of the colors weren't offered for the Patrol, like black and Spanish Red.
The interior of hard top Patrols (and the engine compartment and undercarriage) was painted gray. I don't know that there was ever a color code given for the gray, but if I had to guess I would say the 503 or the 666 gray. I do know that Duplicolor rattlecan gray is extremely close.

Re: Paint codes
The Dupont color chart above mentions the color code for 67 and later models is on the firewall. Does anybody have a picture of the color code and its exact location? And is there a color code on the earlier models? I would like to take mine back to original color.

Re: Paint codes
I have never seen a color code on any pre-'68 Patrol - that doesn't mean there isn't one though. Then, it is located on the radiator core support to the right of the radiator.
