Re: [Chrysler300] C300 Air cleaner & valve covers

["johnl" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,

You are correct in the "gold" color.  As I've been told over the years by members who I highly respect Chrysler had various vendors for the paint and there really is no documentation.  Gil Cunningham has a sample of one of the originals, but it now has many years on it.  Also it is my belief that the valve covers came from a different source than the DeltaWing, thus variances there.

Gary Goers is a good source for the decals and yes the spark plug covers were "black".
