Are you looking for a match for your Steel Silver A34 - FTO? - thats not gunmetal!

I have a tin from the bodyshop - should be a good match - its not easy to find a tin of A34 paint even in a Mitsi dealer.

PM me and we can arrange.

Camskill or Ricerocket can help you with the costs of a tappet change - http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m3b0s9p2474

I thought steel silver was the brighter one, like Mustangs new one.

Why did I have gunmental grey in my head??

Will it stop the chips from flaking?

Its the fact that they are getting bigger thats worrying me.

I got a can of paint made up in the local Motorway, just specified A34 and they came back 5 mins later with a spray can of steel silver paint. Got a can of lacquer spray too.

Got one of those from a UK group buy, apparently they're pretty hard to get hold of, needed to be a batch of so many done for them to do it.
