    paint code?

    does anyone have a paint code for the white on a 86 250sx tank? i was also thinking of powdercoating which would be better.

    The White code I use is... mae 838 I have it mixxed up and put into a can. It is a little more expensive but it looks PERFECT. Put the decals on and have it clear coated at a body shop.. I cut about a 1/4 of the white off the edge of the tank fill so the gas won't penetrate under the paint. Clearcoat for some reason won't alow this to happen. If you don't cut the paint off in about 6 months the paint will bubble all the way around the gas cap and then you can start over.

    I have just started to powder coat stuff and have not found a match yet. You will find the "White" has some red and Yellow in it and has more of a cream color to it when you look real close. I do know the 85 to 86 white is differant though.



    Good Luck and post pics when your done .
