Gearbox color

Post by Cees »

To all,
Cleaning my gearbox and transfercase I found only black paint on it. Is this the original color or must it be in olive drap.

Cees & others

I use (flexa) ON- 0040 paint which is very close to the grey paint
that I saw on the untouched South African GPA (engine).
The company Desmet in Gent sells according to their knowledge
the right grey Ford paint which is allmost the same.
