does anyone know where to get correct beige paint for 1953 chevy truck heater? I found the paint in quarts, and I have found the spray can in silver hammertone but not beige (or bronze?)

any alternatives that are close? make? number?

got the heater disassembled and bead blasted but having difficult time getting a correct color before reassembly

thanks..gw

This stuff is pretty close to the hammered metallic beige used for Art Deco truck interiors. Possibly the same for AD heaters?

Stuff is contagious (I think it contains silicone), so keep it away from your regular spray area.

Another supplier of this paint is Rust Oleum in Hammered Brown. I got mine at the local Lowes store. This was as close to my original heater paint I could find. Matched it to the over spray on the inside of the heater box.

The stuff I went with is on my web site in the how-to section. Hammerite Rust Cap Bronze if I recall. I am very pleased with the way the two I did came out. Good luck!
