What "color" is this?

96GTS · 04-26-2005, 11:41 AM

If I wanted to powdercoat my timing cover, valve covers, and intake, how would I describe that color? I also want that 'wrinkle' texture look that it has...

Or should I just do it all regular silver??

Dark Charcoal grey??

dark graphite or black wrinkle paint

Do you think that would look better than silver?

Here is the intake...

I definitely think the dark color looks better

Dark Charcoal Gray is what I would think. IMO if you do it silver it looks like you painted it silver....go for the darker color and offset it with some brighter colors in different areas.
