Good evening chaps. Anyone with a colour for the rain channel on the BJ8.
Obviously its grey but can we narrow it down even to a modern counterpart that I can get in a "rattle can".

Thanks in anticipation,

Regards Alan

Also I have a tubular s/s 6 branch exhaust...any thoughts on exhaust wrapping?

There’s an excellent match in Rustoleum. Unfortunately the PN has faded from my memory but someone will chime in with the number.

Ah mine is rust alright - red rust. Having removed the rear shroud to get better access to replace the boot floor, I found that the drain channel was very rusty, after mild grit blasting it then became religious as well. The replacement that I had bought several years ago in anticipation of a change over was black, presumably a basic black primer. I can now sort out the correct colour once I either repair the old one or re profile the new one to fit.

:cheers:

Bob
