Re: new paint
Personally I like the traditional Datsun side to side stripe better. Also I like the look of fatter ones better than skinny.

Re: new paint
I liked those too . that's traditional for these ? good to know . I've scratched the down the hood idea already . I've pulled the two fat middle ones off and have the pinstripe ones left . it's interesting . needs something maybe somehow . hahaC.Costine wrote: Mon May 28, 2018 8:52 pm Personally I like the traditional Datsun side to side stripe better.

Re: new paint
I wanted life to the paint to replace the gloss clear coat . I got life in the paint for sure . I'm really enjoying the variety of colors I get throughout the day and night . it's fun and always different .

Re: new paint
I do too . now . took a minute to like it I think because I kinda just winged it . got the idea tried one way , found this stuff , tried it, then got more and finished it ..
seemed like too much at first , is why I tried the stripes .. but I pulled the stripes . it looks better without . . it's really kinda neat paint .. I never get bored with it cuz it's always changing.. there's heat-sensitive paint out there too . it's like a mood ring . I thought about that for a minute , but I didn't like the colors that it came into..
