| Does anyone know for certain if the rear vent window frame for a 78 Westy is painted with L43 grey black, or was it L41 black? I was also thinking the wiper arms were L43 grey black. Thanks for your help. |

Mine was a satin black paint and was really rusted so I swapped it for a nice chrome unit.

I'm pretty sure both were L41 but I'll do some comparing today if I get a chance.

OK, found a fairly clean window with good paint under the rubber, it's L43, matched the dash top and seat frames but looked slightly lighter than the steering column and brake lever. The wipers look like L43 as well but the little circle of preserved paint inder the cap is difficult to get beside something for a perfect comparison.
