Boge strut Color, 66 MY

[Rusty]

A friend is restoring a 66 and found a shade of blue on the Boge front struts. Anybody want to offer an opinion as to what the color should be? Could use a little help.

It is the color he found. Yup, a shade of blue. The ball joint is painted black, though.

Blue? All the Boges were grey in my eye, maybe a bluish grey. The 356 konis were blue.

In fact I have originals in the shed, here is a pic, the front struts were the same color and yes the balljoint was black.

Thanks guys, I've passed the response on to the guy doing the work.
Hope all you folks out there have a great weekend.

OK, Blue/grey.
Mark, your picture is a very good example of the color.

Hi all-

I'm responding to an old thread with hopes that someone may have an original paint strut and a color book.

I have just a small spot of what I think is original paint on my '65 Boge strut - here are the two best matches I could find in RAL

I bought this from Moito. Color in thread very close to actual color. When Boges installed in '67S they were factory painted black. Same on '67 912 Targa. https://www.early911sregistry.org/fo...ght=BOGE+STRUT

well, yes Franz should chime in, as close is close but not on point…
@doigthom: you still have them and a ral card at hand?
@gbone99: these look nice..
