Grey engine paint from Bill Hirsch...

Hi all,

It's only a short time that I will get a phone call from my machine shop letting me know that my engine rebuild is complete on my '49 327.

That being said, I have been going back and forth on how to paint it. The machine shop will paint it for me, if I buy the paint. So I was going to purchase the grey paint thru Hirsch. But I think that I have decided that I would like to use a single stage catalyzed paint, as I have seen many examples of them standing up much better.

Which brings me to the problem that I don't have a sample that I can take to the paint shop to mix a batch.

Does anyone have some extra dabs of the Bill Hirsch grey paint that they might be willing to share? I am willing to pay a couple of bucks, along with shipping. Maybe I have some parts for a 48-49 that I could trade.

I would also plan on sharing the color formula with all.

Thanks,

Mark
