Sorry, I can't be any help on the paint. I checked with the fellow who did the work, and he didn't recall what he used. Whatever was used was intended only as a temporary coating to prevent more surface rusting after the tub was lightly blasted to remove the rust that formed after the bare metal tub was soaked and sat for a week. This paint will be removed when the tub gets a full resto to correct the altered roof height (from the '67 Monza incident) and unequal wheelbases (from '66 Le Mans). I will then have it repainted with whatever is "correct" and designed for the long term.
