I've been in a heated discusion about the early two tone paint jobs on 57 & 58 Sportsters. I'm convinced the Birch White Panel was painted before the solid color. My disagreer says No the solid was painted first. Any coments from anyone on this?

Originally posted by Robert Luland View PostWhite was first. If you shot color first and then white over it would show though. Then again that would all depend on how many coats you want to shoot. If you look at a lot of the early sixty tanks on the frame side panel were the paint is crappy you can clearly see the white was shot first. Bob L
Also, my painter works for Du Pont setting up color matching systems and he checked into the codes in Bruce Palmers book. The tints used for those codes are discontinued so Du Pont can no longer supply those colors.
