Eaton p/s pump reservoir, correct Silver paint
« on: March 06, 2014, 11:45:33 AM »
Working on a 64 1/2 with power steering that has the Eaton style pump and reservoir attached directly to the top of it.  Has anyone found a correct silver paint match for the base and cap?  I think Argent is close, but not sure if it's correct.

Yes, meant the top cap of the reservoir, not the dip-stick.  I think if the paint is not shiny, argent will probably look ok.  It's an art to spray that stuff!
