Title: Rattle can color for engine case? Post by: d3vi@nt on March 10, 2017, 05:25:50 PM I'm getting a clutch slave off of a newer ST that's the gold'ish color. I'd like it to come close to matching what I have, which is the gunmetal bluish/grayish color.
Does anyone know an off the shelf paint can that comes close? TIA Title: Re: Rattle can color for engine case? Post by: Heath on March 11, 2017, 07:54:09 AM Do you have a picture of what you have? I've seen the word gunmetal used on stuff from silver/blueish tint on down to a dark smoke color.
If you are worried about heat these two products work great. http://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vht-engine-metallic https://duplicolor.com/product/engine-enamel-with-ceramic Title: Re: Rattle can color for engine case? Post by: d3vi@nt on March 11, 2017, 06:19:31 PM It's difficult with lighting, etc. to get a good pic of the color. Found the same issue when trying to color match the frame for some new wheels. Here's what it looks like:

Kind of a dark gray with a bit of blue and bronze to it. Probably end up taking the part to a parts store and try to match against a lid. Don't think heat will be an issue though. |
