[alfa] Re: Spica air box paint source

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Biba:

I'm the guilty party that had the Spica airbox paint custom-mixed.  I think 
I ended up buying something like 20 cans for myself and fellow Digesters, 
and Tower Paint is supposed to have the formula on file:

The two airboxes I painted came out really great, IMHO.  I had them 
media-blasted first, then shot a thin coat of primer, and finally 3 coats 
of the color.  The spray cans from Tower are really nice, too.  The paint 
was color-matched to an unmolested end cover from a '74 airbox, so it's 
that correct gray with the blue/green tint, and it has the proper 
semi-gloss sheen.  One can is easily enough for two airboxes, and might do 
three if you're careful.  I haven't tried re-ordering from Tower, but 
here's exactly what's on the label:

Hopefully, that's all the info you'll need.
