Ok, My opinion, not worth much, but here it is: ***Accepting the notion that IH Gray was Surplus Battleship Paint, How close did the Department of the Navy keep tabs on their gray paint? Were any 2 ships matched exactly? Was there a computerized paint matching system that assured all Navy ships left drydock the same color? Don't think so. IH probably had some measurement ratios near the end of the gray run, but unless the rumored 2 original Gallons found in a dealership shop and being computer formulized at McCormick-Deering dot com(so the story goes for the last 2 years) ever hit the street, I say go with the shade you like. I spent way too much time and effort picking the paint on my F-12 and then the Regular. My Regular had some exposed original gray that had faded through the years to a light blue. This leads me to believe that run had some extra blue tint in it. The F-12 was definately a darker gray under all the grease and later-added red. 8 years between the 2. **Moral*** Paint it the shade you like and thumb your nose at any and all detractors. After all...It's yours, not theirs. I will step off of the soapbox now and return to lurking. Kevin
