[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 15, Issue 33

Mon Jan 17 17:14:48 MST 2022

Having been asked this question at least a hundred times :)I've seen lots of guys use a Krylon hammer tone.  The color is close but needs to be applied very lightly and from a good distance away.  The wetter the paint application the bigger the fish eyes , I mean hammered effect. 
The closest color not quite semi gloss was a silver that I once had for motorcycle side cases on early 60s vintage Hondas. It could be flattened by a light color sand and a rubbing compound hand application.
Alas most paints at NLA in Calunicornia.  The couple original housings I've seen were rather weathered and had the typical appearance of no primer and finish directly over bare steel.  The engine baked finish was peeling on both I handled.

Tiger Friends:

 Here are three photos of the Air Cleaner from my (former) GT Tiger.

I hope you can gain some information from these photos. My impression from having ?eyes-on? is that there is no Hammertone and the color is a silver tint. The color reminds me of Ford?s ?Argent? paint which has a bit of brightness- a bit more than a satin tone.

I?m sure you will note the black paint; I guess a prior owner applied that at some time in the history of this GT Tiger.

I took a close look at the black paint with a magnifying glass, and then scraped my fingernail on the paint to see which is the base layer; it is clear that the black was sprayed over the silver (?Argent?)

The original Ford P/N was a C7AZ- type; now Ford sells it under PM-19K207-AA

I hope all this is helpful.

Interestingly, my air cleaner housing which is in rough shape but appears to have original paint still on it definitely is NOT Hammerstein type of paint. It is a slightly  blueish grey closer to the convertible top frame but slightly  bluer

Hi all,  happy new year.

Does anyone have a paint code for the grey on the air cleaner housing?

Thanks!
