[Healeys] Two tone Healey paint line??

[John Snyder]

>From the Anderson/Moment Restoration Guide:

"On two tone cars, the secondary coat was sprayed over the primary coat in 
the area below and behind the pressed-in swage line on the fenders and 
doors.  In all cases where the car was painted two-tone at the factory, only 
the flat portion of the lower panel was painted the second color, and the 
upper body color extended down over the bevel to meet it."
