So, was an origin for the name ever determined? Could it be 2 guys from France had something to do with it? Just interesting as this thread pops up and that is a strange/different name...:

Saw "Toulouse Nuts" on the ABC evening news with a ride and flying honoring a WW2 pilot veteran. Pretty cool! They both looked great!

So what was the technique used for the NMF skin? Is it just natural or has it been alclad?

It has a very 50s jet metal look to it?

I dunno. Didn't think to take that close a look at it. Here's a closeup, if that might help someone identify the finish.
