Tony,
Paint code 39 is Carnival Red. The JAL tag is painted body color, and according
to Norm, if you remove the JAL tag you will find red primer. Apparently the
factory put the JAL tag on before the car was painted. Also, the JAL tag is
mounted with two small sheet-metal screws - not rivets.

Subject: [Tigers] paint and WHAT is painted
Earlier thus evening I was checking the body of my first Mk1A, The rivets look
orginal but Im not certified. The paint code is 39 which I think is carinval
red( please chip in here). The JAL has a yellow, pure baby s--- yellow but
chipping the yellow off there are 2 colors of red. I was at my cousin grarge and
he doesnt have very good lights, so one color of red may have been primer but I
think the other is orginal. I cant see under the VIN which has no paint on it
but the JAL tag has been painted over and in under. Could an orginal owner tell
me if the JAL is painted and if it has the orginal paint under it. It seems I
read in an old post tht the orginl paint is under the VIN. Anyone that knows the
answers to my qustions- your reply is appreciated.
regards, TonytheTiger
