260Z COLOUR - BURNT ORANGE

[Ourdatto]

Hi Guys,

 

Can someone please confirm if this is actually an original 260Z colour?

 

Thanks.

Yer there is a burnt orange that was quiet common but there is a specific paint code somewhere on these forums that will give the Datsun code for it for cross referencing with.

Thanks Toecutter!

 

Would anyone have a picture of a burnt orange one so that we have something to compare it with?

 

Thanks.

[HELLFIRE!]

This could be it or it could be just orange.

There is a "orange" 240Z on Carpoint, sounds like its original paint.

G,day Ourdatto,

                    Mine is a 11/72 Burnt Orange & the early Datsun name for Burnt Orange was Kalahari Tan. I still have a Holts Touch Up spray pack can, stock no DS-D1 matches Datsun Kalahari Tan printed on the top of the lid....Jim

260Z's were not in Burnt Orange but they were in Bronze or a sort of orange color!!

I alway though Kalahari tan was the name given to 920 Gold. Your car looks like 918 Orange.

 

Does the paint can match the paint on your car?

my 260 74 2 seater was originally definately a burnt orange. I changed to red, in hindsight shoulda stayed the original orange colour.

hard to tell from the pic below as I'd changed the front panels and new door skins but yer you can see that orange Z bum
