    The crackle finish paint on the intake snorkel of my '88 TR has flaked off in places and needs repainting. Would anyone know who sells a reasonable match and how it should be applied? I shudder at the notion of trying to source the exact paint from Ferrari. BTW, is this the same paint Ferrari uses on the inside of the rear wheel wells?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Eastwood black crinkle paint is a perfect match for the factory finish as it came off the assembly line. After 22 years, the original black has faded and will not match the new paint you apply. However, if you strip the entire thing, and paint 2 thick coats of Eastwood crinkle paint, it would be perfect.

    First comes to mind is ItalianCarParts.com who have some restored / refinished air plenums etc done in original black wrinkle on an exchange basis. Give them a call and perhaps they have your part or can add it to their menu.
