Dupli Color # T414 Storm Gray.

It is not perfect but very very close. To get any closer I would have to take a panel down to the paint shop and let them computer match it. I figured I would try this for 5.00 a rattle can.

I did not paint the front of the radio at all. it was perfect and the paint matches well enough that I just painted the top and sides to clean it up.

Default todays progress...

painted the window frames, installed NOS roof rail mouldings and NOS ventshades. Have to work the next two days so the car gets to rest. Did order a pint of the correct Opal Gray interior/vinyl spray. Have to pick it up this evening on the way to work.
