Paint for Koni shocks

(1/5) > >>

Looking for the correct spray paint for restoring Koni shocks.

Texas Swede:
Tbolt,
If you are talking about the red paint on 65-66 Konis, I had a paint company here in Texas
mix the correct color from the bottom bracket on an original front Koni dated 4-65.
If you send me a personal message with your email address I can send the PPG formula.
I have used this on the original Konis on my 65 Shelby and sevaral friends have used the
same on their 65s.

Years ago I contacted Koni directly and bought the correct color paint from them.  It was Plasti-kote T-31 "Bright Orange" in a spray can.  Dunno if they still make it.

It also depends on when years ago you contacted them as the shade has changed a couple of times over the years. The color matched formula is from some correct era dated shocks. NPD sells a formula in a spray can but it isn't the same ether. just sayin.
