Default Re: Painting a Model A

I'm always curious how people can find/know the "original" color of their A. I can understand with one of the few never restored ones. After 90 years some have been repainted many times and were probably disassembled and sand blasted before new paint - of the owners choice. With no factory records it's guess work.
Use old school paint - not the new water based. That takes too much environmental control to get a decent job. Here in CA since I'm not a shop (and paint in my garage) I can use whatever type paint I want. Sometimes it necessary to go to a free state like Nevada to pick up supplies. Most of the time I can get them shipped via Ebay.
