    Rear shocks correct color

    I just purchased a new pair of Delco Shocks for the rear of my 64. Does anyone know the correct KRYLON paint number. I believe the color is File cabinet gray.

    Thanks,

    Sam

    The color for 1964 shocks may be black. Past discussions supported with some pictures are on the board someplace. I had the same question and went with black on a Mar64 car.

    As to the color gray, I've seen a gray on many a show car, however I have some 69 F41 shocks and they are more a blue gray - just a comment.

      Sam,

      What is the serial number of your 1964 Corvette? At about the VIN 9000 serial number, 1964 shock color changed from black to gray. Any gray color with a hint of blue-ish green is fine. Typically battleship gray is a good color to shoot for.

      Regards,

      James West

        If you choose Grey... Krylon #1605 ....

        .. ("Dove Grey") was suggested many years ago by the Rev (RIP).

        Never tried it, though.

          James, Were are you getting your information about the change over at serial number 9000? I would like to read more about the change over.
