Hi all,
I have been having a clean out in the garage prior to respraying my
Morris 1100 circa 1965, deep down at the back I came across a gallon can
of cellulose paint. If memory serves me well I purchased this paint in
1961 with the intentions of respraying a Austin Atlantic that I owned at
the time.
I'm wondering if its still useable? I popped open the lid and its very
fluid and doesn't seem to have settled or separated. My only problem is
that the 1100 is painted County Cream and this paint is a Bright Red.
Has anyone had experience using vintage paint an vintage cars, not many
can claim that the car was resprayed in original period paint!

Frank.
