[ARC5] Wrinkle Paint: Bike Shops?

Todd,

I haven't noticed the stickiness problem with the Seymour paint I have but it 
does take quite a long time to harden.  Probably the oven cure would 
accelerate that.  What items I've done I have allowed to air dry.  A couple of 
customers have reported getting good results only with an oven but I'm not certain 
why.

It's been years since I last saw any green FAA gear but my dim recollection 
is that it perhaps had less of a brown tinge (i.e., closer to green than 
olive).  The green I have looks somewhat lighter or yellower than some NOS BC-611 
parts I have but over time it darkens toward them (they were the color match 
samples we used).
