If anyone is interested I just watched a video by jayhawker on y tube that shows him making his formula for the hammered interior color using rust oleum paint .He was doing a lot of trial and error so you need to watch too the end were he shows what his final mix was .

Guys - Is this the Jayhawker video you are talking about? Make 1940's GM Interior Paint From Hardware Store

Dan, I’m sure that’s the one the guys were referring to. I watched it last night and it almost got me thinking to try tinting some silver or gold hammered paint to reproduce the blue-green paint that was on my heater originally. But then I thought no, that’s a done deal with the rattle can dark bronze. I’ve tinted paint to match the off-white on my boat and it was an all day effort. Jayhawker makes it look simple, but with the video editing I’m thinking he may have spent at least a day.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Yes - That's the video. I like watching him and his dry sense of humor. One of his projects is a 1940 Chevy truck. He has lots of experience with Stovebolts.
