"Yes, I sand blasted, primered and painted it Satin black. Probably not the most dureable finish, but satin black seemed like the right colour choice.   The brown sticker was carefully removed with a sharp blade then double sided taped back on, and the..."

"I think that giant washer button is the actualy the pump.   The guy listing the ad says it is a 1967 model.   The pump makes sense, they were only used untill Sep-1967. Nissan changed to the combined Washer-Bag & Pump in Oct-1967."
