Paint it black and put it back
Looks great! I'm going to be doing a beige to black conversion on the tan interior trim from a 93 that I'll be putting in my 79, so that's encouraging it works. I wonder how well it works on door panels that have the cloth insert bit? I assume you can just spray over the whole lot, vinyl and cloth, and it takes OK?
I just used quality spray paint on these. I was going to use the vinyl and fabric spray from dupli-colour. Apparently that is the best brand. Does not come off either because it’s a die ?
OK. Yep, I bought the Dupli-color vinyl dye/spray, so hopefully that'll do the trick.

I’m thinking about using that dupli-colour for the dash in my 740. Faded tan. Just gotta be careful because it will stain everything haha

It could be the egg mobile! But... unfortunately for the bacon mobile I am going to use it’s gearbox and louvres and headlight protectors and sell it as an automatic bacon cruiser

Got the silver slug home. Drives well. I’m really happy with this as a starting point for a 240

Also looking forward to picking up the beast from @heavy_dd

Yep, “057” is your paint code. And the 0 is important as I once found when I told the paint match place “57”...which he couldn’t find. Had no problem when I said “057”. It’s a Nissan-Datsun colour since these cars were assembled locally in Clayton up until about 1989.

Didn’t know that thanks mate and yeah love the 057 and red pinstripe and grey interior. Also the chrome trim suits the colour

The Virgos really suit it!
