I am surprised nobody has mentioned the mg_paint and paint.col files
on the sol server. I have used the paint recommended in this listing
and found it to be a very good match for my Magnette (MGA wheels).
They do have a Ditzler code. I am going to append the paint fles to
the end of this message, but I really recommend that people look in
the archives if possible. There is a wealth of information already
there.
Cheers,
