Rob; Firstly, let me say what great resto! I am getting to the stage of painting my KL, and I have not been too fortunate in finding the recipe for #2 Brown. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Bill

First off Bill, I want to let you know that myself and other members of our Prairie Command club have opted for cheap house paint for our vehicles, just in case the movie industry calls and they need a new paint scheme. Yes, they fade a little quicker, but they look tougher that way. And a fresh coat every spring costs me only $45.00 Canadian. Here is my home brew, using the Matchrite Color Designer paint color scanner.
Para Paint/Alkyd/Melamine 4500 Poly

Please make your initial mix in small pint sizes, just in case you don't like the shade. Anybody got a map light/dash mounted , for my HUW restoration? Cheers Rob
