Hi Gang:

I am mixing up a small batch of R-390 and R-390A panel touchup 
paint.  The test sample I mixed up looks great.  I decided to go with 
oil-based paint because it dries harder and cover scratches, small 
dings, etc, in your front panel better than Latex-based paint.  It 
can be thinned and sprayed with an airbrush or even can be delivered 
in a spray can.

I used a COLLINS and EAC panel for the color matching.  Since the 
color was to the same spec this should match all R-390 and 390A 
panels.  This paint should also match R-389 and R-391s as 
well.  However, no guarantees.

Problem is that I need to mix up a lot more than I need and so if 
anyone is interested I can look into getting some small paint bottles 
and offering them for sale.

Anyone interested?  Price would be around $7.00 plus 
postage.  Perhaps if some of you want a larger quantity, say to paint 
a complete panel, I could offer a larger-size bottle as well.

73,
