davej[TK] Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi guys.Maker,reference? Peter, I think that what the guys are saying is that no one has any idea. It was probably whatever was lying around the shed at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shock Trooper Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks David.I´ts hard to believe that some Humbrol colors are identified but not the white base.Maybe a white color made in the UK and used to paint the fiberglass canoes.

JoeR Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I would love to know. SiMan would know as he sanded it off his original helmet (that sounds really gay!). Maybe e could analyse the few flakes that are left on the original? I would love to know. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej[TK] Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Unless someone remembers what was written on the can of paint that was used, there is no way to work out what it was. I've been in the paint industry for 25 years, and all we can ever tell is what it is, not who made it. 30+ year old white gloss enamel paint is 30+ year old white gloss enamel paint is 30+ year old white gloss enamel paint.
