Hirth 634 engine shroud color
« on: August 21, 2018, 11:58:10 pm »
Redoing a 1970 Panther and wondering if the fan and cylinder shrouding is gray or silver? Hard to tell with online pics.

    Can't say for sure about the 70's but I have 3 71's in cats and they are all silver.

    I'm thinking silver also
    Ignorant people find me irritating. Isn't that precious

    It takes dedication, and commitment to make a difference..

    Please don't expect me to take you seriously, if your tinfoil hat is leaning to the far left,,,,,

     and mercury is not a good replacement for tinfoil,,,,

    Have a nice day!

    Would a fine silver and a satin clear work?

    I’m thinking an almost aluminum silver.

    Hi,
     I've used the "argent silver" wheel paint before and was happy with the color and sheen.

    I did this for a 72 Cheetah and should have some paint left over. This is gloss clear so but i could make it a little duller.

    Now that 634HPM mentioned it, I've heard before that is the correct color.
