Schempp Hirth interior grey - paint match by
Craig Funston[_2_]
Looking to touch up the interior of my early 80's Nimbus and have been searching for that "just right" grey color in a rattle can (USA market). I've looked at Krylon, Rustoleum and Valspar. So far the Valspar "smoke infusion" color (85039) is closest, but it's still a bit on the light side. ...

Matt Herron Jr.

flying higher performance ships (Taking the hit on handicap of course).
Wasn't the Club Class originally intended as somewhere for the...
