Paint Question
Guys, Can any one tell me were I can find the correct color for the turn signal housing on a 1970.
I just had them rechromed and know I have the eggcrate portion to paint to match the bumperets. It looks to be some kind of a charchol grey color.
Thanks in advance
Butch

BTW bumperettes are chrome. Heres the info
Gray: Dupont 863-42103 to match WOA-3406" (one paint dealer reports to match WOE-340 in 1998) This spec, which is off the original print, may mean little to a Dupont supplier. Use code 9931 below for current (in 1999) match.
Use primer/sealer first then:
use Dupont code 9931 at 5% gloss level. (a flattener will have to be added to achieve this level) This code also includes an additive that will yield the rough surface of the gray area.
Upon calling Dupont directly, the Dupont Number 863-42103 is not found in their data files,but the Old Stock# Dupont code 9931 is, and is superceded by their new number for DK GRAY METALIC 723199 and that formulation date was 8/2/1990.Both paint codes were acrylic laquer,or Lucite.
The paint shops reccommend a color photo to match the existing color,since laquer here in N.Y. is no longer available.The paint can be made in a Base Coat Clear Coat.
Dupont was kind enough to fax the ingredients of the Grey 723199.Their phone number is 1-800-338-7668.

Small recess surrounding the lamp lens should be flat black:
