my 52 is also in L73 of origin, but I have problem to find the formula in painting modèrne. I am a carriage-builder painter,i'm works in painting ixell, and formulates it does not exist more... how to make? I forwarded pieces of tole painted to the factory of painting for a reformulation, but I am afraid that it is not exact...

Calver, the paint is still available at any GLASURIT dealer
they have made me some 2 or 3 months ago using the "L" code.
You can find the GLASURIT Dealer near you on the net.
if you have still trouble, contact me on private mail.

Thanks for the kind words about the car. True It's a nice car. but also what makes it unique, is that it was restored 10 years ago !! and has not changed since in anyway despite it's been driven ! i drove 2000 km last summer to go to Hessich.
Unfortunetly i had to sale it, so i could make space in the garage and money also :? to buy my 1951 kabriolet. I sold it A few month ago, and it's now i a great place back in motherland germany. thank claus !!
