Fuchs black flat or........

[bossladys 911]

Were the Fuchs with chrome paddles usually painted a flat or semigloss between the paddles ?

most here go with a Rustoleum or Krylon Satin Black. I think the Rustoleum is Satin Black #777. I am sure others will chime in and correct me if I am wrong. I ahve also heard others say they use a Wurth paint for them.

Mine are #7777 Satin Black

satin is correct.....semigloss is a little more blingy....I prefer the semi-gloss myself...

austin552, the funny rootbeer / 3tap vid brought back a funny memory to me. a long time ago, my sister & I were receiving a ride in my Uncle's new 911. We were in Chester, California. My uncle took us to A&W for a rootbeer float. On the way back to our cabin, I made my sister ( sitting in the front seat ) laugh. She spit rootbeer all over the inside of the 911's windshield. Needless to say, My Uncle Dan was not too happy with me.

Uncle Dan drove his 911 until the clutch failed in 1980. He parked it in his garage but never had the funds to repair the car. In 2005, he gave me the 911. Since then, I've done a complete restoration of the car and now, drive it most weekends.

yeah, brings back some serious good memories. Currently, Harvey Weidman of Weidman Wheels is doing / making me a set of Deep - 6 Six inch fronts and custrom 7" rear deep - 6 for this car. They were due to receive paint today. May be heading up to Oroville this week to pick them up. Will post pic's once installed. Should be "way cool".
