Grey underbody paint

Does anyone have a paint code for the grey paint/primer that was used on the underbody and interior? I know I could easily change the underbody to black, but I would like something that's similar to the original grey color. Thanks!

Re: Grey underbody paint

I'm also looking for this. I've got a small patch to touch up on the belly of my Firehawk behind the catalytic converter heat shields.
About a year ago someone had the actual paint manufacturer and paint codes. I found a local distributor but for the life of me cannot find my notes.

If it gets posted here, I'll be taking notes. I've never seen that information presented here that I can recall.

I have seen a thread on it in here someplace but finding it may be hard.

Re: Grey underbody paint

I asked this question a few years back and never got an answer. You'll also need to blend in the paint overspray that makes its way down there. one thing you could do is bring it to a auto paint shop and they can use a paint camera to match it. its definitely not listed in the PPG/Dupont paint books from the late 80's/90.

I think I posted in that. A few suggestions were offered, but I don't recall a standard WA number, or anything along those lines. I always thought it was the ELPO primer the body was dipped in. So it's not a "color", but a product. I had always figured I'd just have to find something close in grey.
