Paint for inlet plenum

[Ian H]

Hi
Does anyone have a source of paint or code for the grey crackle finish on the 3200 inlet plenum and spark plug cover?
Many thanks

There is another thread somewhere where this was discussed at some length.

I have been speaking to a company in Italy. The difficulty is actually matching the silver which on the older cars has a tint of gold. Apparently the inlet plenum came out of factory silver but over years it takes on a gold hint as the resin inside the wrinkle paint ages and turns slightly yellow. I had been trying to match current colour but now thinking going back to original silver. Do people agree that we should pursue original colour rather than try and match aged paint?

I just over painted mine with a sand coloured paint and it came up really good look up ratarossa on YouTube for the wrinkle finish on the red rocker covers.

That looks good and I see you have treated yourself to a new header tank! Unfortunately my coil pack covers has peeled off in places to will need to repair wrinkle first. Out of interest what paint code did you use?
