Is this correct and original, if not what color should it be? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 547 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 547 | Mine is the color of metal..... I don't thing that part was painted originally.

You cannot measure a man by where he sits in comfort and security, but where he stands in times of adversity and danger.
