I know there's some very nice pics from the restored SPL211, but damned if I can find 'em w/ Google. However, here's a grainy one:
Similar to the two-tones on a Austin-Healy's. Personally, I can't see it on our later model roadsters......
what color should i paint it?

The only two-tone paint job I've seen that works is the BRE scheme.

Guess it's actually a 3-tone.
The roadster really doesn't have a good place for color breaks.

Wow, I must have been on the Roadster list too long! You guys don't recall Laurie's red and white two tone Roadster? It has been a while, so I guess it predates most of you. Shifty should recall it though. Here is the AZROC club photo page:

Laurie's car is in the background here:

When in doubt, check Datsunroadsters.com:

You may not agree, but I think that she has a fantastic looking Roadster! She did a fantastic job of making it two tone and looking like it was supposed to be that way.
For photos of 212s, why not go to he source? Edgar Gonzales' site:
