They had several colors, I bought a can of the Gloss lack and tried it out, It looks real good on a piece of primed metal. I'll use this for my heater box under the dash.
Part number is 7215 Black.

While I was waiting to load them up I was looking at the display rack, checking out the different colors that can be coated. They had several hammertone finishes that really looked neat (there's a 21st century expression for you).

My buddy sprayed his frame on his 62 and it looks great. It has not been on the road yet so i do not know how durable it is.

It is more like charcoal to me. It holds up great and like Dale says hides a lot of rough work. I've used it for underneath things like front axle, spindles, etc.

I know that the original heater had a hammered paint finish on it. What of the colors that are out there match best with the original finish. It is the black? Thanks in advance,

Get some Hammerite Rust Cap, bronze color. It is made by the Kilz corporation, and is a spray can. It might be hard to find, but I found the brand at True Value hardware, but not that color, but they ordered it for me. Or you can get it from Eastwood. Follow the directions, and I guarantee you will be happy with the results. | | |
