Beautiful paint job. What make, type and color did you use?


Base/clear - silver base is PPG Delfleet FBC base with F3930 clear. The clear was mixed with 1 part of F3118 (I think) flattening base to 6 parts clear. we used the fine metalic F3601. There are a few other components to the base mix - I don't have those in front of me.

Beautiful Mark! But then again, I know that you will not settle for anything less coming out of your shop.

Please tell your Dad "Hello" for me, and let him know that I got the parts he sent over.

See you at Oshkosh?

Steve :wink:
