larsdowg Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi all, thought this would be easy until I got to Halfords.... So I though Sunset Orange (Euro) or Le Mans Sunset (USA) was A17 paint code. So took a picture of my VIN plate and it has written on it 'Color,Trim' A17 R I assumed the R was trim level or colour of trim until I got to Halfords, then this confused me... They have 2 codes for my year under 'A17' and 'A17/R' Then looking on.. (to check my VIN I get the following details) http://www.vindecode...N/check-lookup/ Body color A17 - ORANGE Interior color R - ORANGE Which makes me think mines must be 'A17' colour code and Trim Level 'R' ?? However not 100% sure so thought I would put a post up.... Any help appreciated, as I don't want to 'touch up' the wrong colour code on my pride and joy. Many thanks in advance Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I must trust a fellow Ginger Datsun owner..... Curious to know about the trim codes though if thats what it is? Can't seem to find a list of trim levels/colours online. As I say I only got this one from my VIN on the VIN checker site. What colour are your wheels btw? I did mine in Nissan Skyline KH2 Gun Metal a while back (see previous posts) Think dark looks really good with Sunset Orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi buddy, its a 3 stage paint process and a very difficult colour to blend. Be careful to paint on a spray out card before applying, however they are not the best for mixing paint too. Hope all goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
