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.

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.

Code 210 is my fave. The color of my first Z31.

Mine is 215 (Med. Pewter) over 210 (Lt. Pewter) from the factory, so I know that was an additional available color scheme for the S12 in the US.
