[GreenKeys] Paint

Peter,

You can get black wrinkle paint from a number of sources.  In recent years 
I've bought what little I needed from Antque Electronics Supply.  Newark might 
still carry it.  And I'm told that Harley-Davidson dealers do.

I have WW-II Signal Corps green wrinkle available.  Not the same as Western 
Union pea green but would be a better base coat than black for putting a thin 
color coat over.
