Mark, to be honest I have no idea what blue I used! I don't keep notes (I should). I know it was metallic and in a rattle can. I built this back in the early 90's.
Bill, you're right in that Dover just isn't the same since they made it concrete. 500 miles was a grueling test of man (person) and machine back then and it's lost something being shortened. I get the whole TV thing and short attention spans these days but it just ain't the same!
