turfman454 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Any ideas on what the blue color is called on the ea81 air filter housing. Mines looking bad on my 84 BRAT and im trying to keep it original as possible.Anyone tried to match it with another manufacturers color?

jono Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) maybe just you and me I found a colour very close in the Holts Duplicolour Auto Spray touch up range for the replica box I made for my twins - used three original single carby boxes Doubt Oz range on offer is same as in US ...just went to shed, to find is a local manufacturer GM ..Holden colour Holden Marina Blue with a number DSH115. Surely must be able to get a paint shop make up a small tin for you ..... based on sample you take in ? Be easier if you had an EA82 - satin black Edited August 9, 2015 by jono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihscout54 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Anything sky blue would be fine. No one is gunna notice but you. I like to do my valve covers and air cleaner in dupli colors "Detroit Diesel Alpine Green". It looks pretty good but its more of a green blue. Agreed satin looks more origional than high gloss.

jono Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 be in real trouble Tony, trying to park yer big boat in a Barina Sort of doubting a Holden colour touch up would be found in US, but that GEN1 air box looks yummy. There is a powder coat light blue if you have no momey worries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
