To all of you AD truck owners. I think that we finally have the color that we have been looking for. I took my steering column into a very reputable auto paint store. We used the paint color that was under the column to dash clamp. I asked them to come up with a mix that was just a shade darker, than the one found under the clamp. Lets face it, the color has probably faded a little over the past 60 plus years. They specialize in BASF paints. They spent 5 days and some of my money to come up with a real nice match. Before I rushed to post it on Stovebolt, I sent the color formula and technical data sheet to Denny Graham. We all need to thank him for his efforts also. He drove a number of miles to have the color mixed. Then, he brought it home and sprayed a steering column. He agreed with me. The color is a real nice match. I am sure that he will post the picture, when he gets some time. I hope this will help all of you bolters that are trying to get that orignal color and look, for your AD truck. I know that is my goal. Good luck with your restorations.
