Why was I thinking that you were going to have the fenders a different color -
black? - from the body? Looks good....

Hello Friends,

As you may know, I
had MAACO paint my TD's wings, doors, bonnet and
running boards. Those bits
had enough surface rust to need
professional refinishing. Here's how the wings
came out.

When I got everything
home I realized that the new paint didn't match
the old paint that I put on
the tub. The old paint didn't match the
color chart either. It was close but a
bit too dark. Must have been a
mix problem - and the primer beneath the tub
paint was a little
different. I already reported these facts to you but I now
have
remedied the problem.

Here are a couple of pictures of the TD tub,
sanded and ready for
(re)paint. I didn't  respray the part under the bonnet as
the color
difference is just not that great.

Today, I repainted the tub using
DuPont Nason urethane paint supplied
by MAACO. Here's how it looks. The color
match is perfect.

I am quite pleased. By tomorrow the
paint will be hard and I can begin
mounting wings and doors and things!
