Has anyone found a close color match that is readily available in spray cans for the soft top frame and bows? The original gray color is lighter than machinery gray that is readily available. Dave Mc

Nice thing about gray is that it's an easy color to mix yourself. A lotta white and a little black... Roland

I was hoping someone had found something already mixed in a spray can. I would think there would already be something available commercially without having to custom mix and then get it put into a s

Guess it depends on how close you feel you have to get to the original grey. If it was me and I didn't already have the paint to mix, I'd probably go with whatever grey Eastwood or some other mail o

My advice (for what its worth) is don't paint them powder coat them. Paint chips off easily but powder coating is much more durable. I've just had mine done and it cost the equivalent of US$50-perfec

Powder painting is great and I have used it a lot on the suspension pieces. Normally with suspensions each part is separate even the washers etc. On the soft top bows did you have to disassemble all

That was what I was thinking as well. The powder painting process works best if every part is disassembled. With the top bows that would mean drilling out the special rivets etc. and then trying to

Maybe I'm in a minority here but $50 to paint soft top bows seems a bit How much would a new set with the paint already on it cost? Roland

Well, if it was for a Mk II, it would come in at right around twelve hundred dollars. Ramon P.S. The place where I take my stuff for powder coating has a $25 minimun charge. Sometimes, for a real sm

Potential source for interior pain. I have had my head up underneath my dash recently, and notice that the interior, unseen metal surfaces have a grey finish on them. My Mustang was bare steel (but u

I can't speak for anyone else's experience, but I recently had the complete frame from my 64 Mk I stripped and powder coated for $120.00. The only disassembly that I did was to remove the frame from

We (ie my trimmer) disassembled them into five pieces and he coated them like that. He also got the brass hinges coated which I wouldn't have done-but surprisingly the hinges now work better ie a lot

I think Rustoleum Navy Gray was a good match for the original color. I don't know if that color is still in the catalog. Bob Melusky
