Manual gear box pale green color spec
« on: October 08, 2018, 12:50:35 »
I am looking at refurbishing my 4-sp gear box.
These boxes are finished in a pale green color from factory. Does anyone have a paint specification for mixing this color?

I use green etching primer. Pretty close to the original color.

I use Ditzler DP40 epoxy primer.  Pretty tough stuff. I also used it under my car.
