Milano Ext. Trim Colors

**aralfa8589** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-18-2006, 05:02 PM

Hi Guys-
My 89 Milano Gold is in the paint/body shop as we speak. I bought this car from Publio a couple of years ago, and it has been the mostest funnest of 4 Alfas that I own. It is a total screamer! Anyway, the driver side got seriously scorched when my house burned.
I need to know if all of the exterior trim is the same color. The windshield cowel, thhe rubber side and rear trim , the window trim ( hard strips around windows too). Also the plastic stuff around license plate. This is most assuredly not a total stock restoration. I will only use SEM paint. I was shown a lot of love from this board when I was doing my parts search.
Thanks,
Jeff Lang

I'd really appreciate some help here, as my time is running out.
Thanks

Jeff,

The trim should all be a very dark anthracite.

SEMS charcoal metallic trim paint (39033) matched great on all the painted trim on my black Verde

As far as I know, the windshield cowl (below wipers) and the plastic panel behind the rear license plate are NOT painted, just bare plastic. Everything else (bumper trim, side mouldings, door openers and side window trim) should be all dark anthracite.

I've repainted the plastic cowl piece at the base of the windshield with some universal flat black trim/bumper paint. Makes a big difference if the piece is faded from the sun.

Thanks!
You guys have saved the proverbial bacon...I need to get the paint this evening and spray things up tomorrow. I used SEM 39033 on the bottom skirting of my 164, but I've never seen a Milano with fresh trim, so I was unsure of the color. The cowl and back plastic will get a shot of satin black. The car is getting resprayed white (not my favorite, but I've learned that color is the least important factor in buying old cars). Full body kit too. It will be ready in time for the Fall Fling in Eureka Springs, AR put on by the Kansas City chapter of AROC.
Thanks again
Jeff Lang

G'Day Guys,

While we're on this topic, has anyone in Oz (pref. Vic) found either a supplier of SEM aerosols or any other brand with a Charcoal Metalic?
