EX. CAR. Reference your memo. - Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/L210.7.22. - I prefer black upholstery for utility, and I think a real dark grey paint is most useful. I believe the only way to get a grey free from yellow and green, is to use enamel paint, and avoid blue entirely, or it becomes green with the yellow of the varnish. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
