The new paint was ordered from one of the only places we could find that would
not only sell acrylic lacquer, but hand match the shade of coral we already had. We sent them a sample, and a few weeks
later, we had a fresh supply of both the coral and the white. We only had enough Dupont left for a couple of coats,
so we wanted to put four coats of the replacement paint over the primer to use as a color base coat.
The match was good, but not perfect, so we were still counting on our supply of
Dupont for the top coats. We also put four additional coats of white on the roof, thick enough so we could polish and
buff without fretting about going through it.
