Subject:Color question for brown interior paint
From:Eric Caron

Hi folks,

        Here in Bennington VT I have few options for finding rattle can colors.  I have Home Depot, Kmart or Walmart. 

Can anyone give me a common brand and number for the brown interior of a 85?

        I took the back grate off behind my stove to run some wires and it was pealing and had some rust under the paint. 

        I have a ride tomorrow and a person that could spray it.  I just need the color.  

        I’ll use black in a pinch but would prefer a close match to the original.

A bonus is that I found that a rivet had given out and that was supposed to hold the grate to the stove unit.  I recognized the tapping sound it made as one of the sounds i hear on rough roads.  I’m always trying to eliminate unnecessary rattles and vibrations.  A small screw now is fitted to that location.

Thanks for any color recommendations.
