Paint colour

I really wanted some of MMI's Universal Bronze paint, but couldn't get it up here to Canada no-how. Looked through all the pin-ups for ideas. Tried Dupli Color's Universal gold. Ended up falling love with Dupli Color's Chevy orange-red. Don't ask me why. Gonna have an orange-red engine by next spring.

Nice rigspelt!

I just bought Duplicolor "Orange Mist". We'll see how that looks.

Gotta like red anything, from flashy cars to women's shoes.

Rigsy,
Old timer lore has it that red engines run better. I'm sure the old girl will love her new red coat.

From one partial to Fords, red, and Craftsman wrenches, it looks delicious!
