Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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 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 think my generation do everything half assed )

1 side off, started on the drivers side just removed one sticker it came of way too easy.... and alot of paint underneith has been scraped off, i can see it only gets worse under more of the stickers. looks like some idiot has used an air chisel to try and remove the stickers before so one side has stickers one side doesnt..... wtf should i do. any one want to paint a swb patrol mat black i prep and supply paint?

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?

cheers Aaron.

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