Hi Steve, I have just spoken to a mate who works for a company in Wagga called Riverina Wholesale Traders, who is an excellent 'eye matcher' of industrial refinishing, and supplies paint for restorations of tractors, cars and has done some early Victa stuff.
He has asked me to bring in a sample from my Scotty and he is prepared to spend the time to hopefully come up with a formula for the Model 45 by reverse engineering it. In other words, getting the base colour correct and then chemically introducing the product that produces the 'hammertone effect, rather than trying to tint a proprietory hammertone paint(such as Galmet) which he has tried, and it doesn't work.
So, here's hoping....
