Is the airbox painted?

I put ArmorAll on it soon after it was introduced. When I restored the truck 3 years ago, I put Son Of A Gun on it. It has never gotten to the point of looking weathered. Try wetting yours with a little water. If it looks darker, it may be an ArmorAll candidate. I've seen them weathered to the point of having exposed fibers. If yours is weathered that badly, paint or clear may be the best option. I doubt paint would adhere to the box if it has ArmorAll on it though.
