Anyone know the "appropriate" shade of gray for the MIJ gray painted interior kits of the early 70's?
I am working on a Rogers R-360 kit (made in Japan by Yamaha) and had to sand off a lot of mold and yuck from the bottom of the bass drum shell. It is structurally sound and looks good now, but I sanded off the gray paint with the mold. I am doing this for a friend, and she wants a hole in the center of the front head, so for cosmetic purposes, I wanted to repaint the interior at the bottom so it looks uniform. If nothing else, I can get some swatches at the hardware store to see what is close. The R-360's have a little bit of greenish tint to the gray, not quite a pure gray.
BTW, I was sure to use a dust mask for sanding! Between the mold and that paint (which I can pretty much guess is lead based), that could have been nasty on the ol' lungs!
