Coating on original sidepipe covers
Here's an obscure question for you: What is the correct paint for the original (69) style sidepipe covers to go between the fins? I ended up replacing my center section and put fresh paint on all three pieces rather than trying to remove the paint from all of the others. I used trim black but I don't think it matches what I think the original looks like. I found an ebay ad for a company that is reproducing what looks like very nice quality covers:

They suggest that the original paint is charcoal metalic. Can anyone confirm and suggest a source?

Hi ca,
I'm not sure what Gregg's secret is.
I found that the gray phosphate paint that Easwood sells is very close to the original color.
Regards,
Alan
Here's the same paint on the center grill.
