1967 component painting question

[Jerry A.]

Can anyone recommend a good spray can paint to duplicate original 1967 steering gear housing, rear leaf springs and rear end housings? Also is there a good matching HSLA steel grey spray can paintavailable?

Thanks, Jerry

The rear spring paint can be grey spray primer.

The steering gear housing is just a semi gloss black I believe.
For the rear end housings, I have used stainless steel spry paint with
a coat of clear spray over it. I have also seen "cast blast" used. These
will still look like paint, but it keeps it from rusting and looks pretty good.

Cheers,

Steve

Jerry, I bought a can of Smoke Grey Krylon for the leaf sprig on my 65, I think it is close to the original. Some of the suppliers have grey for Shock Absorbers, I think they also have one for the leaf springs. On my rear end housing I just used satin clear spray, high temp, I think it was duplicolor. I left the steering box natural and clear coated it also, as I don't think all of them were painted from the factory.
