what kind of paint?

I think he's using regular automotive paint.

He's not using that real poisonous stuff, (I'm drawing a blank on the
name right now), but by God, it sure is "aromatic" in his hangar.

He was using dope to do the fabric wings of his biplane a couple of
weeks ago. Wow, what a great way to get a buzz! Just walk through
the hangar, and you're feeling fine.

Methinks all them old-time A&Ps were stoned all the time...
