Correct Gray Phosphate Coloe

[Mr Yenko]

I didn't know that Mike Gray did phosphate. From what he says, He restores Yenko's BETTER then anyone else. From what he says. But I don't recall him ever restoring a REAL Yenko yet to my knowledge. Mayor of fishkill.
A.K.A. "Grape Ape"

The closest paint I have used to gray phosphate is Eastwoods Spray Gray.It does not have the rough texture the real deal does,but at a quick glance it fits the part.Like BKH said,there is no paint out there that truly duplicates the real thing.I have had BKH do a batch of gray phosphate parts for myself and was pleased with the results...KP

Rick..His Email is [email protected]. I have never used the Eastwood stuff so I don't know if it is similar. Vernon has been selling this stuff for along time. I bought mine over 10 years ago and it still works great. He also owns a Black 70 RS Z28...Not for sale though. Nice guy that is worth giving your business to.

I have some paint we mix up that is the best thing I have seen closest to phos plating. We use it on the driver cars mostly, people think its phos. Its dark and has a ruff texture. I used to be able to make it out of the old synthol paint, but since it gone now we do it in enamel and it still holds up good. I can do plating on boosters, zinc, phos, cad or any other plating done you may need also. Have people send stuff all the time.

dear mr yenko, i don't know who you are nor have i seen any of the great cars you have restored. but actually i have restored several that were of the highest caliber. with regards to restoring real yenkos, i restored a 68 yenko that was judged at the camaro nationals by brian henderson and joe swezey at supercar workshop. it was the highest scoring car ever at the camaro nationals. maybe they aren't really experts????????? with regards to phosphating, i have phosphated my own hardware for many years. if you would like me to do some for you please let me know.

Mike;
