To be totally anal correct: The tin is satin black, not gloss like mine(I like gloss!), the fan housing is Aluminum cast natural( I just sprayed lacquer on mine to preserve it after blasting) same for the fan. The case is natural and I don't recommend doing anything to it other than cleaning, the manifold, elbows, exhaust are supposed to be zinc coat flat from the factory( I left the cast part on the manifold natural and painted the tubes grey then coated it all with lacquer). The exhaust is NOS so I wont have to do anything to it. The cherry ontop is stickers, small paint marks(like on the fan when you look down the hole, and the line-up hole on genny strap) that really set the motor off. On the coil and cleaner after paint coat, I put the sticker on then coat with lacquer to protect it. I have found that the prints on stickers don't hold well to solvents and such! before http://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/174969.jpg after http://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/174970.jpg Hope this helps jason > > http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_search.php?search_keywords=62+gulf+blue+notch+resto&search_terms=all > > Jason, > > Do you have paint codes & details for which parts are which colours ? > Or was it just a case of saying 'these bits are black, and these bits are grey'? > > I will be doing an engine rebuild one day, and want to get all my bits & bobs redone like yours.
