Can anyone share their experience with painting rockers or valance to match original? Looking at both color and texture. I have been through several forum threads. The recommendations range from BBQ grill paint to what seems like the most likely option of Wurth Underbody Stone Guard Black. it is $40 a can (3 can minimum), and they do have other products, so I'd like to avoid wasting money on trial and error if I can avoid it.
Our front valance and rockers appear to be original. I need to shoot the rear valance and would like to get as close to matching the other existing pieces as possible. Authenticity book only says: QUOTE These steel valances were painted to match the rocker panels and front valances. The rocker description simply says:QUOTE They were painted matte black... This is a 1970 914-6 with steel rear valance. ![]() Thank you. |
