It's like this... A Mark Stephenson, in Maine I understand, claims to have found the long lost paint that was used on our dearly beloved machines. He wants a mere 25 dollars for the privilege of gaining access to the formula. I don't have a problem with that. First...I wonder if it is THAT BIG A DEAL, in that, 1. is it really correct?, 2. is it really the only dark gray used in that era? The problem I DO have with Mark is that HE DOESN'T RESPOND TO MY REPEATED E-MAILS.
I am about to paint my McCormick-Deering 22-36 of 1930. Many of you have been kind enough to suggest a good paint formula. And, I think I have found a very plausible one in the DuPont number 27625. I had my "jobber" mix up a sample in Centari 27625 for me this morning, and it looks very much like the dark gray that so many of you have used in your restorations. In the absence of hearing from Mark in the next 10 days, my sandblaster is going to do my main frame that is stripped down and apply a gray paint. Does anybody have a phone number for Mark? There are FIVE Mark Stephensons listed in the Google White Pages in Maine. So...I am at a loss. Tom

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
