365GT 2+2 Queen Mum Tail Light Bezel Paint

Post by RDC3500GT »

Hi All,

Would anybody have any idea what the paint type (or near approximation) should be for the silver that is painted on the top and bottom strips of the taillight bezel of a Queen Mother? Picture (by Les Bidrawn from Forza Magazine) below:

Hi Robert,

Do you want a paint code, or a spray can? Krylon makes a "Dull Aluminum" that comes in a spray can that will work fine for this application. I think the silver finish is a dull finish, and not a shiny finish.

I had a gentleman call me just last week asking for the same information, as Tom say the Krypon "Dull Aluminum" paint is the best solution I've found. We think it was some form of plating process originally but I have yet to find a plater who can replicate it better that the paint does.
