Top Irons Paint
I'm replacing the top on my '31 Deluxe Roadster, and will repaint the top irons.
I have the "Paint and Finish Guide" (second edition, revised). It shows "Top Iron Gray (400A)". I also have info. off the internet referencing Walter Kauffman (Model A News) that the Deluxe Roadster top irons are "Satin Golden Beryl". The "Paint and Finish Guide"does show a "Satin Golden Beryl", but does not reference top irons. So...My questions are: 1. Is "Satin Golden Beryl" the correct color for Deluxe Roadster top irons? 2. Is the finish actually satin or is it gloss as shown on the chip in the Guide? 3. Do any of the Vendors sell it in aerosol? 4. My info. shows the DuPont number, but I would prefer PPG. Does anyone know the PPG number?

Re: Top Irons Paint
Page 6 of your Paint & Finish Guide does reference Dlx Roadster Top Irons as "Satin Golden Beryl".

Re: Top Irons Paint
I took my Paint and Finish Guide #3 in to my PPG paint guy. He used his scanner to read the Satin Golden Beryl chip and came up with "Atlas Yellow", code CAS7108. I haven't sprayed my top irons yet, but his Atlas Yellow paint chip was too close for me to tell any difference. He mixed up a couple cans for me.
