Thanks man,Its black and a bit rough. I'm tempted to repaint but I like to keep my stuff original as possible. I'm going to take it apart give it a good wash with some dawn then some turtle wax. I was really happy to stumble across this one, I caught the C/L ad minutes after it was posted. I've had a couple of other Spyders,but just not keepers @ the time. This one was exactly what I was looking for.
