No, that is the original paint.

I have found BS381C-694 'Dove Grey' is good match.

Please let us know how you get on.

Cordless butane soldering iron should work although you might be better with using a small blow torch. https://i.postimg.cc/bwSxthm7/61vb-MTXmhi-L-AC-SL1500.jpg But if you cannot use a naked flame you could try a 300w electric soldering iron: https://i.postimg.cc/FR6cRCjr/Image-5.jpg https://uk.rs-o...

Thanks David I managed to find Jag classics prices etc They “aluminise” the majority of the system as some rust protection and the rear box and tails are chromed..around £1200 ish incl VAT Not sure how that compares to your chaps? Robbie I paid £600 cash about six years ago plus the cost of chromin...

I have let this thread run because it raises an interesting question. However the OP's IP address is in Vietnam so in some weird way this could be a spammer. I will keep an eye on it but if it disappears you will know why.

FHC GLX 803C still exists - 1E20974 - if that helps narrow down the search.
