My neighbour pulled those big orange stickers off his white '80 MQ and didn't even need to buff, but that wasn't faded silver paint. He used a heat gun, petrol and a spatula, it took him a few hours and burnt fingers.

well i have had the car 2days and they were pissin me off :bad-words: i dont know how they have lasted 20years. i had a closer look and now one side is just about bare. looks so much better and im just peeling them off by hand so far i have had no dramas. exept the retro sticker bloke back in the day while triming the stickers pushed a little hard in places, a chip stick will hopefully fix this. (and my parents generation :finger: think my generation do everything half assed :bad-words: )

i washed my car the other day with a mates pressuer washer, and it started to peel them off (this is on a 83 MK patrol) only did one of the doors as i didnt have time to do the rest... but this was just a good pressure wash.

im just going to remove the stickers completly now and deal with anything else after that. what coulour is the MQ patrol silver? i am more than likly going to get the spray can primer and paint an sand it back and paint it, will still look better than big stickers. its a 4x4 so im not all that bothered how it looks as long as it doesnt rust. how can i find the paint codes for it or can some one please tell me if they know.

the identification plates arent the best i belive that the colour code is 006 B does that sound about right to anyone?

006 is a colour code for Nissan that was used from 1982 to 1994. ;) I just looked it up for you.

Cheers Mick.
