REGARDING SPRAY CAN PAINT
A few months ago, I was in the same dire straights regarding where and how to get certain paint in spray cans. In the past you could have auto paint stores do this for you but NOT any more----something about Homeland security and NO shipping cause it could explode etc.
WELL BUNKY-----You are in luck, as there is a company that can(get it?-- can)do it
and will solve your problem---they solved mine. I found my salvation on page 140
in the GREATEST magazine around "CLASSIC MOTORSPORTS" November issue 2006.
I HIGHLY recommend that all TR owners and gearheads subscribe to this BIBLE of knowledge.You can get a free issue by contacting them 1(800)520-8292.You can request a free trial issue for yearly subscription of $19.95 and if you do not like it----cancell and the first issue is free. Bet you can not like it. The editor, Tim Suddard, drives a TR-3 in vintage races and is a sports car "fannatic".
Annnyhoo.........
Back to your salvation/solution.
Here is the advertisment and I contacted them and problem solved.

NO, I have no financial connection with either "Classic Motorsports" magazine or
the William Wolf & Co., of Cleveland, Ohio. I just like to share, with other Triumf afficianados, information that is beneficial to us all.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone that knows location of any parts, parts vehicles or complete vehicles named ATLAS---be it a Van body or a Pick-up. Thanks!!
