Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.

[mbulriss]

Ron,

I was unable to respond over the weekend, but followed your paint discussion
with interest. You got lots of good responses. One thing to add on the color
match is that my paint guy, a Dupont dealer, says they like to use the color
analyzer camera (he dislikes it when I call it a color gun) in several areas
near and adjacent to the area to be repainted - even if it means spanning
panels. He says that the results are averaged and that gives them the best
match of the color, and aging effect of the color, to get the best match
results.

FWIW,

Mike Bulriss
1991 WB40 "Texas Minivan"
San Antonio, TX
