C2 parts colors and paint

[Christine A.]

We are restoring a 65Fuel Injected car. Is there a reference/technical guide that has all the proper colors and paint to be used? Currently trying to determine color and type of paint for the intake manifold and dust shield for the brake rotors.

There's no specific source for the info you seek. However, part of the info is covered in a lot of different references. The NCRS Judging Guide is one source. The 63-67 Vette Vues Fact Book is another.

Your intake manifold (actually called an ADAPTER for FI engines) was natural aluminum although some may have been fully or partially painted with dull aluminum paint. The front brake rotor shields were clear zinc plated. The rears were pre-punch galvanized. The latter finish cannot be duplicated so most folks just have them zinc plated.
