List
Just remember that any paint numbers that have a DUCO or DULUX in front of it
are no longer available, these were paints that contain lead. IMRON 1033
Silver Aluminum would more than likely replace DuPont DUCO Aluminum Lacquer
#254-4202. Just something to remember when your thinking about repainting that
old
rail car and looking at an old Painting & Lettering Diagram.
