    Attached is a closeup pic. I will spray it and then do the black by hand. I assume the black is semi-gloss but what color is the gray?

    Also, I have a couple small pieces of plastic missing at the point. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix these?

    go to wesco for paint

    seems like you know the color now ,my suggesiong,get the paint from body shop supllier like wesco have them put it in their special can that they have, it has higher pressure and it sprays like the one they have at body shop ,like you i,m slowly working on my 71 riv,and my body works at wesco,I got all my paint from them and use their spray can,but remember they have two kind,the expensive one is the best ,I could only up load one pic I hope it helps

    Should the vertical slats be black like in that picture? I thought just the horizontal slats had black in teh middle.

    I was just going to rattle can it silver and then do the black with a paint brush.
