Default Paint

I'll also check my photos of new Cab 12s. From the few on surviving trucks I've seen the paint tends to flake off faster from the chrome than the rest of the vehicle.

And if you're going to repaint your truck and you want a good match for the original, get hold of the Khaki J from Flowrite in Sydney. Olive Drab is a US colour.

I have a second hand emblem I bought on ebay from the U.S. it doesn't have any paint on it or much chrome for that matter after 75 years.
Cheers Ken
