Dehne sending unit cap/cover color

[jbannon]

I was wondering if anyone knew the color code or approximate color of the Dehne fuel sender cap/cover? Mine was originally a mint green color, but most of the paint is gone, faded, or discolored and it’s impossible to discern the original color. Any help is appreciated.

this is a nos one so should be close to true colour

this gives a good idea too in natural light

the shade reminds me of the hammerite type paints used on machinery

To answer my own question, Kevin from Project Therapy Design recommended the following paint color for the Dehne sending unit cover:

Rust-Oleum 334090 Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Spray Paint, 12 oz, Satin Vintage Teal

I plan on trying it and will apply a clear gloss coat over my replacement decals to protect them and give the cover a gloss appearance.

FYI Kevin sells the outer and inner sticker for the Dehne cover. Kevin's website is here:
