[misterpop]

Chevrolet Orange Engine Enamel?...Would look good on the early Moko prime mover as a suitable colour is not realy available in the UK.{I have a plan involving B & Q and a Spectrem analizer}. Nice restos BTW..keep up the posting of these.

Here is a Dinky 25x Commer that I got a at swap meet a few weeks ago. I am amazed how much these Commer Superpoise trucks look like the 1940/46 International K line trucks.

That is a winner and very factory finish. A lot of skillfull work has gone into that restoration. Looking forward to even more...

Bob that looks great ! You have have really got a knack for that color matching, looks spot on.

What I can tell you for sure about color matching from spray cans is, don't go by the color on the cap because it is usually off from the paint in the can.

Thanks

Well I started on the Prime Mover this week. I didn't figure I would find any parts that I needed, so I built a rear fender/axle assembly from sheet stock. Found some pictures of what it should look like, but no measurements. Fits well to the body, and looks pretty close to me. I glass beaded the body, as I do with all my projects, so it is almost ready for primer, except for some dental work needed on the grille bars.

Now this is looking good.
