Meanwhile, Classic Parts has a specially mixed gray, part no. 88-005. They say it is correct, but there is no paint chip. Best the staff could do is to tell me it is a "medium to light" color. Has anyone used this specific paint, and can you describe it? Thanks!

Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

All I want is the JC color, available now. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 Gas Pumper | | Gas Pumper Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 | Bill Hirsch Automotive Paint Products does the best job I have seen so far on giving you the correct gray in spray cans. http://www.hirschauto.com/If spray cans are a problem, they also do it in cans. They have been doing this forever so they know the proper colors. Hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 | I have used the Bill Hirsch "medium" grey paint, bought a quart. Brushed it on the block, looks great. Put some in a HVLP gun, and sprayed the valve cover, looks fantastic.. Highly recommend this paint, quality! | | |
