Re: [CBQ] F3'/7's what color were they?

[Ken Martin <kmartin@cwia.com>]

The name of the color the F's were painted is "Imatation Aluminim" 
thats' why the early model paint guides said use Silver paint. Actually 
as I understand things it was a darker gray similar to the early 
Spectrum's. As they weathered, had acid washes and stuff they got 
lighter. No one seems to agree on what shade they weathered to and it 
has sparked more debates than any other Q subject I can think of.
