Clyde I'm only asking because you appear to be applying the same level of detail to this car as all your others .... how are you feeling about the finish on that fuel tank?

Heaaaaaaaps of conjecture on ESR to wade through, but general consensus is some shade of gray Wurth or similar..... I think mine is a little too light perhaps, but it also gets discoloured / darker pretty quickly if the car is being used.
Apparently in some of the original cars it appears nearly black.Attached Files

I always liked to refer to this set of images of a rather unmolested 68 car https://get.google.com/albumarchive/...CJSxuqrwmaS9Uw
This 68 thread also suggests 'black', but I suspect that it if in a grey primer, it darkened over time. http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...0-1968-details

For the 65 Chris? I seemed to recall they had no texture in the paint application. Altho Jim B suggested not http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...s-and-textures . Others swear the smooth coating was the go on the very earliest. There are so many ESR threads on these and Karmann v's Reutter and so on. There is also a theory that the SWBs had a slightly darker Wurth SKS-type coating than the LWBs. I give up
