[Tigers] Hammertone Paint

[Peter Laurinaitis]

i used rustoleum hammertone [grey? or silver?] from wal mart on a bead-blasted,
acid treated (eastwood product), well primered original air cleaner and it came
out fabulous, but i cant vouch for the exact hue as i have never seen an
original painted air cleaner with original paint. though i understand the
hammertone to be original.  i think it came out similar to what i have seen on
high dollar restorations so i assume they got the hue correct.
