Ed, thanks for the help. I have Word 2010. Currently working on a different computer with Open Office and the 97/2003 version you added works fine. Thanks again.

MrMerlin,
What was the color you used on your intake? It seems to match the original color from the factory better.
Has anybody done this color in the textured look?
Thanks
Bilal

Bilal, while you're waiting for Stan's response, I'll just mention that there are a huge variety of coatings available that you might want to review.
For example, since my PCer guys preferred to use TIGER Drylac coatings, I can point you to a whole bunch of their choices: see TIGER Drylac Color Charts. (FWIW, the Silver Hybrid 09/90190 I used in on p. 7 of the "Metallics" volume). On p. 5 of that same volume, there are quite a few variations (including different sheens and textures) on silver.
I happen to have the printed version of that Metallics volume, too; if I still had some original 928 parts, I'd probably be able to identify the best match (at least from TIGER Drylac's collection) if you're shooting for the most original looking appearance.
You might be able to take a part into your PCer and—if you're lucky—they'll have some coated samples you could compare to.

I just happened to notice that as of right now, 09/90190 - Silver Hybrid - TIGER Coatings (tiger-coatings.com) is still available; I had thought it had been discontinued. Shop - TIGER Coatings (tiger-coatings.com) is nice for checking out what coatings they've got.
