Sliding down that slippery slope, I decided to pull the shocks since I already had the rest of the suspension off. At least clean them, if not replace. I was amused to find that someone had taken the time to write the date and milage on the front inserts.

I couldn't find any paint (other than overspray ) or other markings on the springs.
Best I can tell reading posts, reference books, and the parts catalog a 914-6 would most likely had Boge in black. Which is interesting as there are traces of original gray paint on our lower front strut tubes. Would the tube and inserts have different colors?
