They don't know were to get the copper paint.... or 2. No one cares anymore. If it is #1, the paint is Rustoleum ultra hi-temp Burnt Copper. I could only find it in rattle cans, so I bought a whole case at the Palestine Home Depot. If it is #2..... well it was great while it lasted. At least it still is lettered Magma Arizona, and has the headlight on the smoke box door. Nice pic by Brian Jansky.. |
