73 Z1 Rootbeer was created by smokymountainvintage
Anyone have any touch up ideas for the Brown section of my 1973 Z1 gas tank? Is there a automotive dupli color touch up pin of something close? Is there anyone who supplies this color in small amounts? Thanks in advance. SMV

Take a look at Dana's work. I have a candy red set that he did on my 1980...he has a pictorial on restoring a root beer /orange combo that he posted yesterday. He is a great guy to talk with too he loves the old Kaws and rides one!

As this painter points out, there is actually no brown (root beer) involved. It is orange painted over a black and white base. Where the orange is on white, the effect is a lighter orange. Where the orange is over black, we get the root beer effect.
