Re: 70 SS Wheel paint
I had spent alot of time at hardware and auto parts stores looking for and buying several rattle cans of gray paint trying to find a close match to the gray paint on the back of the 70 SS wheels but didn't have much luck.
What I was using for a color sample was an unused 70 AO coded wheel that I had for several years.
After spending all that time looking for a somewhat close match I found out that there already was one right under my nose.It turned out that the gray paint that we use at work on the locomotive parts was closer than anything I found at the stores.Is it a perfect match maybe not but I thought it was close enough, It is made by the Carbit Paint Co. in Chicago.
On The rattle can it says speed dry enamel ANSI 61 light gray.They have a retail store in Lombard there address is:
Carbit Paint Co.
210 W. North Ave.
Lombard,IL. zip?
630-627-2303
