Valve cover gold color
« on: October 01, 2020, 01:53:59 PM »
I’m trying to match the original gold color for the valve covers and air cleaner on my ‘65. Has anyone found a paint code that matches, Or what does everyone use?

NPD carries the correct shade of gold. The duplicolor is too dark

As mentioned one would need to know when the car was built. Guessing you didn't use the search to look for your answer since its mentioned in a number of the threads

Doesn't do much good saving older threads and research if no one reads them  ::)
