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.

    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?

    UNLESS you are redoing back to the ALL original look,paint it whatever color you want.Please yourself,no one else.You are getting to hung up on what should be politically correct. :o

    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.
