Maybe it can serve as a starting point for someone. Or maybe not….
That's what I was wondering.
I commend you on your diligence. Not too many guys would have bothered.
When I was painting cars, it was always quite a project to match the authentic colors.

Probably easier than engine paint I'm guessing.
