Re: (ET) New member - E15 that was on Ebay

Back on the elec-trak.org site is the mix code if you really want to go for
it. ( I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know how it looks. ) I have
tried some of the off-the-shelf colors and they don't seem to match very
well, but it's probably due to the my tractor's original paint fading and
decaying from sitting outside for ??? years.

BTW enjoy it! Look like you got a pretty decent setup for the price.
