[Tigers] paint input for B9547

[Steve Laifman]

Joe,

My color was the Rootes version of BRG, but a bit weathered.  I did 
paint it with a base coat and clear coat to get the finish brighter and 
longer lasting.  NO metallic used.  The old enamel paints had some 
advantages over even the hand rubbed lacquer, but nothing like the two 
part systems available now.  I have been pleased with the results.
