Good afternoon,

Finishing up rebuilding my headlights with some new pieces. H4 assemblies, 914 rubber adjusters fresh bead blast and rustoleum matte gray paint on the hard parts. Just stripped about 5 layers of paint off the surrounds. Plan is to prime in the morning after work (2nd shift + overtime) and then a couple coats of color. Has anyone come up with the closest match to the OE in a rattlecan? This is by far from a concours car, I would like it to look close/good until I restore the whole car.

Thanks,

Dan

If this is for the 72 in your Sig & you want to keep near OE there was a Krylon Fusion Beige I found that was pretty close.

OE is a tricky one. OE was actually white, the plastic yellowed over time, so really anything in that beige area should work if you are painting.
