Bob,
Thanks for the info. I have no less than six original used horns and two
vintage NOS horns. They are all painted the same shade of grey/green,
light gold or whatever people think the color is. In fact Roger Moment and
I are and have been in disagreement as to what the color should be.
When I can access my NOS horns I will try to take some quality photos in
good light for folks to see what the color is.
