    Need to paint the oil cooler on the 68 KR. Is there a rattle can paint that is close or do I need to have it mixed up? And are the flare fittings that screw into it left natural or painted? Thanks Saltman

    I would start with Eastwood, they used to make a self etching green primer that was a very close match. The fittings are unpainted brass. The center of the oil cooler is usually not painted.
