Does anyone know the correct colour spec for a gold seal engine rocker cover? I am going to be detailing my engine over the next few months and want to try and use the correct colour rather than any old gold spray.
Thanks
Paul

Re: Gold Seal Rocker Cover Paint
There are various old threads on this subject. It appears VHT SP404 is a reasonable but not perfect match https://www.frost.co.uk/vht-engine-meta ... -oz-sp404/
Try searching the forum for other suggestions. The exact colour is a sort of bronze/gold I think.

If you have a good sample, a spectrometer can be used to make a match. I wonder whether British Motor Heritage would know?

I scanned this, recalling this thread and then saw that it was concerning gold seal colour. However, having scanned it, it may be useful to some!!

Re: Gold Seal Rocker Cover Paint
That’s a very helpful article. Thank you. I stripped and repainted a spare rocker cover but when I came to fit it on my engine I found it didn’t match the rest of the green very well. Now I know why.
