Steven and everyone there is a page on the TE/AE web site
(http://www.mindspring.com/~teae/) that shows paint codes for all the
rootes colors. Go to their main page and then click on tiger, you will see
the page link on the left hand side. They show Ditzler, Lucite and Dulux
codes plus chip numbers. I checked with Tower paint and they said they
could get them all. REgards Armand Ritchie

>Did follow up on an e-mail lead for Tower Paint, Oshkosh (by gosh) WI.

>The 16 oz can costs $12.95 + $4.95 shipping (UPS 9 day). 6 or more cans

>They also carry Du Pont (PPG) Centari Acrylic Urethane Enamel. I suppose

>Will report on results after I get the paint sprayed.
