I bought a rattle can of rust-oleum hammered brown paint today at lowe's it is amazingly the same color GM put in the cab of my long lost 1941 half ton truck. From what i understand that same color was used on the heaters in the 47 to 53 pickups. If any body else sees it and agrees let me know thanks.
nate i paid 6 to 7 dollars Nate if you ever go into lows check it out and see if it is the same color I beleive its pretty dam close thanks ron
Hammerite #41185 I believe I found the the heater paint info on the Stovebolt site. Hammerite Bronze Hammered Metal Finish. I couldn't find it locally, so I contacted the manufacturer and bought it from Merit Supply, Houston, TX for $6.09 + shipping. It was a very close match to the original color under the heater emblem.
Will do Ron ! . There's a Lowe's right near SWMBO's house , I go there often for household fix stuff and parts .
