OK, today the second and final part of the DK roadtrip. As I told yesterday she had to spend the night in my car. The reason for this was that I wanted to take her out somewhere, in fact I took her to:
I left her in the car (yes Bruno, I used my brains
) got in and walked to the paint department. I asked the girl over there to take her little color scanner
and to walk with me outside in order to scan the color of the cab. So she did:
When we walked back in I said to her what a nice thing a color scanner is. But she replied with the words that the scanner is not always correct!!
It often has a severe mismatch. Wow. She searched the right color from the code on the scanner, but I saw immediately that it was not correct. Too dark.
Then she said that it could also be this (?) and she showed me a color which could be right.
I took the color strip outside to the cab, and as far as I could see it should be the right color. I went back inside and ordered half a liter semi glossy paint in that color. After mixing and shaking the paint was ready.
Of course I first will try the paint on a piece of wood to check if the color is really correct. Then I went home again to finally unload her.
I gently lifted here up and carried here over the doorstep. She finally was in my house.
This is the end of my road trip report. I already took a lot of other pics, some of them will be posted in the restorastion topic.
