[Collins] Touch up paint

[David Knepper]

JR and group:

Many local paint outlet stores are preloading paint now.  I would try an
automotive paint store.  You could get the paint mixed and packaged in an
aerosol can.

After 9/11 the federal rules changed, particularly, on the transportating of
propellants on aircraft.  That is why Surplus Sales and others quit selling
paint.
