Iv had extreme difficulty getting paint matched that’s under 10 years old.
I don’t know why its so hard … you’d think in the year 2013 it would be simple

I got the paint yesterday and painted the ash tray cover. It came out perfect ! As soon as I can figure out how to attach photos I'll show you all. It appears to be a fast drying lacquer ! All in all it looks great.

Also, post the ordering information, please. I wonder if they also provide Briarwood Brown in cans that can be reduced and then sprayed.

Well...after all is said and done.....the spray paint from APS is NOT as good as I had originally thought. It is too brown and does not match the deep burgandy/brown of Briarwood. Back to the drawing board !!

Deton......just to let you know I bought some paint from Bob Drake in a spray can that is a damn good in color match. Almost perfect to be exact ! Check it out.
