No lead pigments were use din Australian MV paints during WWII. The source of the earth pigments seems to say the Yellow pigment used is the most persistent in any of the KG colours.

Your best bet is some examination including selected rub backs covered earlier in this thread . I would be happy to look at any photos you would like to put up and venture an opinion.

Areas least subjected to weathering are the best locations to try.chasis rails , behind panels and doors etc etc...

Hello Gina,

Thank you for your replies and for all the information. Much appreciated. How far away is your book from be released?

Kind Regards
Lionel
