I am restoring a 1970 six and wondering what would be the "most correct" black for suspension parts? Also, my Bilsten struts the shock top covers are green but the stut assys. are blueish grey, what is best to use for that as well, or has some one made a list of correct restoration colors for powder coating?
One more question, fan and fan shroud, mine were painted but original silver, raw metal or what would be close to original? Thanks for any help! John |

John As many will testify, I don't recommend powder coating for suspension components (among others). Powder coating is somewhat brittle, and doesn't take the hard knocks of suspension pieces well. I's use oil-based paints, but that's me. The fan should raw metal, not painted. Pat |
