I'm replacing the top on my '31 Deluxe Roadster, and will repaint the top irons.
I have the "Paint and Finish Guide" (second edition, revised). It shows "Top Iron Gray (400A)".
I also have info. off the internet referencing Walter Kauffman (Model A News) that the Deluxe Roadster top irons are "Satin Golden Beryl".
The "Paint and Finish Guide"does show a "Satin Golden Beryl", but does not reference top irons.
So...My questions are:
1. Is "Satin Golden Beryl" the correct color for Deluxe Roadster top irons?
2. Is the finish actually satin or is it gloss as shown on the chip in the Guide?
3. Do any of the Vendors sell it in aerosol?
4. My info. shows the DuPont number, but I would prefer PPG. Does anyone
know the PPG number?
