Getting my fan and shroud refurbished and need help identifying color
I am in the midst of getting my car ready for spring and doing a bunch of maintenance work. I just send my distributor out to get the belt replace and have some down time. Since I took the fan and shroud out to get the distributor lose, I figured I might as well get them refreshed.
After I pulled the fan, I noticed that the fan had few tips from the blades chipped off. see below. There are a total of 4 small chip. Probably not going to be big deal, but thought I would check. The previous owner must have had a belt fail and or a fan bearing since I found a few pieces of a belt down by the crank pulley plus the fan itself at one point was rubbing on the inside of the shroud, nothing serious.
I don't want to go fancy with the color and really like what Singer is doing with their fans. Here is the look I am going after. I know what color I am going to use for the fan, but the shroud I am having a hard time to find the right color to make it look like the Singer engines. I plan on going with Cerakote, which is what they use to refinish guns. The coat is very thin and supposedly durable. Not sure about heat resistance, but I would think the fan and shroud don't get too hot. If anyone knows the color code for the shroud in these pictures that would be great.
PS: the Singer engines are just a work of art. Just gorgeous.

A local Shadetree Speedshop recommended this color for my last shroud paint job. It turned out terrific!

Thanks p-daddy. I am working with the cerakote company to try to match it. If all fails I go with black/grey like OEM
What is Opoize?
Why not Opoize it? ; )

lol...same as "rudyfied" RL member "Opo" has a fantastic collection of 911's that many lust for, and he's known for the beautiful cosmetic touches he has done to his cars...the completed aesthetics are known within this community as a "rudyfied" car.

Ha, now it makes sense. I have seen Opo's collection on YouTube, nothing but amazing.
