Ha. It's just one of those things that you have to do since you already got the paint for it and it's staring you in the face.Nice detail Dan. Will surely bump "Reserve" price!
7043 is for me the restoration standard colour for this type airbox. Has been on the forum before.

Yes, I got the paint code from this forum. Just giving another data point.
glad to see that people actually look at the FAQ and the work that several people put together to help everybody
Nice! Can you remove, clean and reuse the wire clips or... does on have to go to W&N?
Yes you can. I had mine re-zinced even.
I'm just cleaning mine up.
I re-zinced mine at home (very convenient), but used powder coat for the air cleaner.
Made it a point to take pics
of original gray green paint today…
If you live in SF Bay Area you can have West Coast Powercoat, 650-871-0400, power coat for $100. They are in South San Francisco.
i think these pieces are more like RAL 7022 ... not like the carb air cleaner
I thought it was interesting- usually black?
popular topic of differing opinion. depends on who you talk to. i have seen Werk shop paint stuff the dark gray green, i have seen others paint black. my opinion is to match it with what looks best with the car color.
I had mine done twice, having picked the wrong color but frankly, I think Stevehose nailed it with the RAL 6015 as my original struts are still a little more green than the 7022 I had the front subframe done in. It's only money.
Yes you can but you have to work with surgical precision to reinstall because they will chip the paint in a heartbeat.
My struts and subframes were originally green front and back
yup, mine as well for the front. I think back also, but that's a project for another year.
Mine too. My struts are still original but more green than the 7022 I had the subframe done in.
