Standard suspension shock absorbers were actually a blue/gray color. Except for the specialty paints available, I don't know of any commercially available equivalent. F-40/F-41 shocks were usually more of a straight, medium gray.

I had thought F40 suspension shocks in '63 and '64 were painted black.

Thanks, Joe...

Should've stated that this application is for a '65...

Doesn't have to be the exact color I'm just looking for something that's fairly close...

Thanks, Rick

Re: C2 Shock Absorbers...

Richard, I would just head to Home Depot and see if you can find a light gray semi gloss.

Yes, they may have been; I'm not sure.

Well, if a gray is close enough for you, then you shouldn't have any trouble, at all. I'm sure that you can obtain a semi-gloss medium gray in just about any hardware, paint, or auto supply store.

Try Rustoleum #7786 Smoke Gray.
This subject came up a long while back and the Rustoleum #7786 was suggested as it is very close to the Quanta gray/blue paint.
