66 Hertz shock color

[aboss4tg]

I have a 66 Hertz, #1178 and working on installing new shocks. Using a non-original style shock but want to have the correct color. I am aware the car did not come with Konis so they will not be the orange color. What color would be suggested for me to paint the new shocks?

I found the Dupli-color DE1601 ford engine enamel to be a pretty good match. Others may have other suggestions.

1601 is what I use too. The color/shade matched up with the original paint shocks that I have.

Took the front shocks off today and they could be the original shocks on the car. Date reads P5LC.  Detailing the car and starting to find a lot of original parts on the car, front upper and lower control arms, spring saddles, KH brake calipers, brake hoses and dust shield.

Dan Patch the shock man has fresh upper rubber bushing (yours are shot) and can press them in with original crossbar. He can also rebuild the shock if need be. depending on your time line don't wait to have them rebuilt if needed because he takes time on shock rebuilds. Dan is training his son to take over.
