Coach Lines
Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 8:42 pm
Can anyone tell me the correct colour for the coach line on a 1952 Empire Green MM? It appears to be a sort of yellowy brown colour, but it could have discoloured after 55 years!
I think the original colour yellowed with time, I have used JAPLAC cream and comparing it with my memory looks pretty good on the Empire Green Morris.
Trouble is getting it on!
I have one of those wheel type lining tools, which is great and with practice does a terrific line but I have had problems starting and stopping ie the 'ends' of the line.
The benefit of the oil based paint is you can spend a couple of hours applying and wiping off with nothing to show for all your efforts!
