What is the correct color?
Is there some Wurth paint that is available?

Hi Pat, (aka Mr.CW) & others.

Here's my 2-cents worth. I had a number of original F.I. Intake Runners & matched the color from under the bracket. Here's my color match. It's a medium satin black/grey finish. I powder coated mine (see photo).

Tom
