[TR] Late TR3A hood stick color

[Allen Hess]

I have a TR4 and this is what I did. Though I had painted mine black  
at one time, I was able to sand back to the original tan. At the paint  
shop that mixed my body color I found the best match in a generic  
color sample book. From what's on the can, I think the sample book was  
Spectramaster, Yellow, YS320.

I don't know how much good this will be at some other paint shop, but  
it might still work.
