Just a word of caution: When inspecting paint color in a tight area such as the inside of the firewall, in front of the gas tank, use an incandescent light, or better yet, natural day light. LED lights will distort colors. I once saw a water outlet on an engine that was painted with the correct engine green paint, points deducted in judging because the judge using a LED flashlight saw the color as black. When viewed in natural light, it was obvious that it was green.
