[FWDLK] commando bronze

anyone needing the color in the future- write down the GM code- it can be mixed in single stage enamel or urethane, acrylic or urethane base. i prefer single stage enamel, add 20% more hardener than required. the mix has proven successful for my applications, holding up for [the oldest one i did] 10 yrs... and the equivalent formula has fared well over 50 yrs form the factory

SOUNDS GOOD!!

NOTE: I called 'tower paint' yesterday PM

INTERESTING CONVERSATION!!!

I had been given DITZLER CODE DDL3435 a while back

Then of course you had supplied the GM number WA 7374

Being unsure,,,I asked TOWER PAINT if they could supply BOTH to me in a 'jiggle' can so I could determine which one would be the better choice.

First surprise---ITS CALLED " LIGHT REDWOOD" ( but it still made some sense)

Then he says"you only need one can--they are the same formula!!!"

UREKA!!!

I am pulling the aftermarket speakers out of my 58

made by 'BOSTON'

They fit into the orig mounting holes

DO YOU WANT THEM????

I keep thinking that you have EVERYTHING.

I just come across stuff that I DO NOT want to put back
