What color is it?

[610StaWag]

1973 610 Station wagon (yellow exterior). There are plastic trim pieces, there are pieces between the rear door windows and rear side windows that are kinda fluted , There is one thin wide trim piece across the rear door (license plate in middle) that has a leather-like grain pattern.

 

The car was out in the sun for so long I don't know if even the part (rear door trim panel) that was covered with chrome trim is what the color was when it was new. It appears, to me, to be a warm gray (Pantone warm gray 8C. CMYK 0-15-15-43). I have seen photos of other 610 wagons, but I just can't tell what the color is. Some photos make it look like it could be silver paint on the plastic trim that has aged.

 

Do I need to post photos?

It's 'gray' on the side panel and the lift handle above the license plate is chromed metal with a matte black background around the DATSUN lettering. I've seen the side panel painted in black and kind of like how it matches the black rubber around the glass..

Here are the photos. For the wide panel on the trunk, I had to make a new center section (the part that is now white plastic) because the old one had disintegrated. I made a mold of a good portion of the remaining old panel to get the texture and then I used two-part urethane to make a part that matched.
