I searched quite a bit and didn't come up without anything, so I thought I'd ask...

Does anyone know the color code of the pop top push bar? Maybe there is a good color match spray can for the poptop lift bar and latch? They are a shade of beige. A Rustoleum color I can get from the hardware store would be ideal.

Thank you

I wouldn't paint it, but find a close color match and have them powdercoated. On my list of things to do . . .

I was going to get it powder-coated, but I'd prefer to use epoxy primer, and then a 2k urethane paint. It'll hold up much better and not be so prone to surface rust.

Was hoping to get a color code if anyone knows of a close match. If not, I'll post my solution after painting.

There were different colors in different years.
The beige-grey is close to RAL 7032
