    I got into #8 on this one and part of the pan could probably use another coat.

    Construction yellow is so close you can’t tell the difference.....

    And it’s a lot cheaper..... besides cat parts aren’t what they used to be.....

    Did a 1987 3406B overhaul several years ago.

    Used 6 cans of Napa Cat colour paint.
