What color?
« on: January 18, 2011 - 12:34:25 PM »
Okay, I'm in the process of cleaning 40 years of rust and grease off the front disc brake "backing plates" on my '70 Cuda.  Can somebody tell me what color they were from the factory so I can order the paint from Eastwood?  Thanks again.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
