Staybrite Front end paint is a dark metallic grey flat color (like a silver/flat black mix).
"Duco" is (was) a paint line sold by Dupont.
I know we're been through this before, but I thought I'd share this with you good folks. - Notice, no references to freight power, narrow gauge, etc. But, as we all know, the paint dept., NEVER disobeyed instructions.....
