If you look at the old pictures of original C300s and 300Bs, the 452 gold is too gold. If you clear coat the 452, it looks as close as possible to me plus you get the added durability the clear coat gives you. Jim Faber in cool and rainy South Carolina -------------- Original message from "Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>: -------------- There is also an issue of gloss level. Shiny wet may look better, but no more than semi-gloss may be more correct. Mine were redone by others and are pretty flat. Judges: any demerits one way or another? I've seen powder coated air cleaners and valve covers and that makes sense. OK with the judges?

Also, is the gold color the same on the 57 air cleaner housings as on the 58 thru 62 ovals ?
