200tdi tub cappings
If replacing and I am thinking of galv items from YRM probably, should I paint them, or would it be ok leave them 'naked' - in part for ease, but also to avoid having them look new against the patina Laughing of the rest of the truck, assuming I don't have a full respray Question

Thumbs Up Rob

I replaced the cappings on my 200Tdi 90 many years ago and left them bare galv at the time. It looked good, but I will probably paint them when it goes back together again this time.
