mdscott where did you buy the paint. i had my painter call today and I had given him two choices of green, he went to NAPA and all they had was the Chrysler Forrest Green (which I found somebody used on this site) it is dark green almost looked black. The painter said they did not have the Nissan sierra Green, so I think he wants me to meet him at NAPA.

Shop line paint, i bought it a automotive paint store. If the paint under the tank if good they can match it. The is a company that sells the paint but i think its pricey.
Its two stage paint so you'll have to use clear coat. I like Sprat Max 2K clear. Or
If your looking for quick and easy then off the shelf paint is probably ok if you can match, but i would still top with Spray Max, its very tough and gas resistance.

It’s a 1974 DT100. It’s a gold color. I removed a sticker on the tank up on top at the front. Maybe you can zoom in ?

Looks like your gas cap is in good shape chrome wise. That’s a $200 savings/headache.
