Re: 164 mirror paint

["Daegrigg (Don)" <daegrigg@domain.elided>]

The black should be a standard alfa color.  If yours is a 91, the paint is
single stage acrylic enamel which is available from local commercial
dealers.  I painted my white S with the Alfa "Artic White". using one of the
aerosol bottle spray units.  Came out fine but the bubbles returned in two
years.  Next time, I will use the magic zinc primer whatever it is.
