Color of camshaft bonnet


Hello everyone,
My LOTUS Elan S4 S/E has its rocker cover in black. I think I have seen a table that gives the color of the rocker covers according to the ELAN models. I think mine must have been red. Could someone confirm me?
thank you

Yes, it’s supposed to be a sort of orangey red, if it’s an SE spec S4. Crackle paint. Which is hard to get hold of… mine will end up red rather than orange-red because of this.

Orange/red is correct for s4/Se on strombergs. I recently did some research on crackle paint suppliers and found a supplier to Ferrari etc who has a wide range of colours. Search for riloplast 80 wrinkle paint

Look in Saint Miles book for colour.

It (S4/SE cam cover in correct paint) is pictured in colour of the front cover, is it not?

Interesting paint.

Here are the colour selections from the web site.

Not sure which red is closest to stock?

Here is a link to a previous thread discussing the shade of red with a possible alternative.
