Good luck with the paint, Paul. Hope it works out great. I was in K-Mart
last week and saw some "hammertone" paint in different colors. Looked like
the hammertone finish originally on some parts of the oletrucks. Wasn't the
dash originally painted in a hammertone finish?? Has anyone ever tried the
spray bomb hammertone paints??
