Hi guys,

Any ideas on a paint code colour for the gold in the 65 air cleaner base?

I did a search and wasn't successful. Please point me in the right direction if I missed it.

Cheers

NPD sells a match in a spray can that's a reasonable match. I've had a custom match done in the past, but recently got the can out and the gold had turned a weird beige/green color over time!

Thanks Charles, appreciate the lead. I thought about custom but would have to find a base to sample off.
I'll check out NPD

Trent,
About 45 years ago, in Sweden, I found an original 65 HiPo air cleaner (without PCV) with the gold painted base dated 5A. After moving to the US in 1987 and the purchase of my 65 I had a paint shop use the base from Sweden and
paint the one I have on my car. Still have the base from Sweden but I had that one painted as well.
I will look for the paint formula but the chance of finding it is very slim. Pictures show the base before painting.

I have not been able to find the paint formula.
