Approaches: -Overcoat a black wrinkle job -Experiment with heavy application of gray and baking/heat treating -Powder coating by professional -Good paint stores (e.g. Sherwin Williams) and auto paint suppliers can custom match colors -http://www.k9sth.com/Page_2.html Glen K9STH has a page of color matching formulas for various manufacturers.

What I did is to remove the bottom inside cover and take that to the paint store. They matched it and canned the paint for me. |
