Probably. It looks a little like Fontana Grey, too. Hard to tell with that pic. |

Why thank you for commenting!
No powder coat, just sand blasted and painted with semi-gloss Dupli-Color high temperature engine enamel, in 1992! Holding up pretty well, don't you think?

Just painted my '61 in L390 Gulf Blue. It's not too shiney yet, but it'll look better once I color sand & buff it out.

Thanks Juan! It took several years to find the correct 90mm cap distributor, 28 PICT carburetor, VW logo fuel pump, and the metal fuel and vacuum lines but now it matches the engine shown in the mid-63 owners manual perfectly!

Seriously, I'd leave it alone. The luggage on the roof rack looks right
and the kiddie-pool floats are perfect. 
It's a survivor--- not a "hoodride". |

haha,.. I did all that for a car show Memorial Day weekend,.. wanted that "packed up and ready for the holiday weekend" look
yeah I go back and forth with my car, I may just find something else for a new project,atleast the pictures of various color would help me out, as well as other people to see peoples stock colors for their references also
thanks for the compliment
