Hi, if you update your profile to show your location people on here will be more likely to respond to your posts.
Not sure about the paint. Do a search for that and you will probably find what you need. As far as filter items go they are on E-bay regularly I think. That's where I got my rubber snorkel thing as you call it (not sure of proper term for it) But I use one of those foam filters that you oil in conjunction with the snorkel. I got one of those mainly because I didn't want to spend $40 or however much on one of the oem style filters. Works great. Some of the other guys on here will have a better idea on where to get these components from sources here in the states I believe. Good luck. Jethro Red PaintI can't remember where I got these codes. I wrote them in the back of my parts book so I must have considered it a pretty good source at the time.
Red. Dupont Imron 6543UM; PPG 71650 and perhaps 71977 or 74359. Every once in a while cans of paint show up on Ebay. I think the original paint was lacquer and was just sprayed on the bare metal. Depending on how authentic you want to go....... Have you considered trying to refurbish the original paint? You can get replacement filter and "snorkel" here: http://www.olypen.com/retro/ Good luck.
