Can someone help me with this? I'm looking for a complete and accurate list of all available paint codes with names for each year of the S12. I've looked at some PPG swatches and a few brochures I've seen online but do not know exactly what all was available and for what specific years for each territory.
Here is a swatch I made as an example. I think this is based on 1986 (Silvia).
Here are the PPG swatches I found for Datsun/Nissan. I'm guessing this is for North America mainly. In addition it is not specific to the S12 series unfortunately.

Definitive S12 Factory Paint Codes/names
You seem to have done a pretty good job. Lol.
I wish I could contribute more, but this thread is pinn-worthy.
Pin-worthy, yes. But why did you post this in the Garage, when there's a better place for it? (the Visual Mods and Audio section).
I'll move and pin it there.
Edit: On second thought... I may restructure the sections.

I guess I was thinking paint and body. Didn't really think of mods.
Nice work!!!! Ahhhh beloved #106 soon again!
Code 210 is my fave. The color of my first Z31.
