I'm thinking about pulling the motor this winter, cleaning things up a little and seems like a good time to respray the block. I could take the valve covers in for a paint match. But, perhaps someone has done a spray card. In the vintage Porsche community, we have a few guys that have done the research on correct paint colors. They offer these paint spray out cards for a small fee. Any thoughts?
I have seen valve covers from dark grey to battle ship grey but I think in the end, if it is grey then you have got it right.
