Drive shaft housing paint

[Disaster Area]

Hi,
This weekend I'm going to try and get the petrol stains off the shaft. In case Mr Cockup comes to town, can anyone tell me of a paint to match the grey paint already on it?

Thanks,
DA

Hi again DA,

I was reading apost on here yesterday about removing petrol stains, but I can't find it now. Various suggestions were made about things like MEK (Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone), and it being potentially nasty, whilst doing the job. One thing that was pointed out is that the swinging arm is powder coated, so you don't really want to be too aggressive.

As for paint, this is more regarding engines, but might be some useful info here:
