Re: what color grey for 67 shocks??

Michael, you will need to find a dark semi-gloss gray, like a battleship gray. I bought a half-pint for a water meter once...that color would be incorrect, but OK for a driver if available in a spray can.

The shock color was actually a bluish gray, but you aren't going find that color at Home Depot. Personally, if it were me, I would just order a can (or two) of shock paint from Quanta Products...it's a little on the glossy side if two wet coats are applied. Maybe a can will cost you $20 instead of $5, but anything worth doing is worth doing right.

Did you do a search of the archives, I used an available spray paint from a local hardware store based on responses a year or so ago. I'm traveling right now but I can tell you the brand and color when I get home.

With all the new car grays out there today

you might find something close enough in a can now. It seems like there are a couple dozen shades of gray for the SUVs now.
