the wagon is an 85. yea it's the same one  the rust holes in the doors were under the trim along the side. I'm debating if I'm going to put that back on.  If it warms up again soon it will get painted.

It looks really good.  I'm looking forward to seeing it in Illinois this September. ;D

Looks good, now I'm more motivated to get mine painted and finished this weekend.  I just got done spraying primer on it.  Doing the paint and clear tomorrow...

My 83 is blue, and I hope to get it painted, maybe next year.  I really like your blue.  What is it called?

the paint is med.metallic blue acrylic enamel,  no clear coat required.   yes I painted it myself and there are some mistakes in it but at least the rust holes are gonr and its all the same color. I ordered the kit  which has the reducer and harder with it for $68 a gallon from trinity 1945, inc

I was also considering getting some paint from that same place but they won't ship to Canada. Partsource sells it relabled here for $250 vs the $76 that trinity charges.

Thanks for the mention of the Trinity site Allen.  Here is a link to the acrylic kits.  I see some possibilities for the SX/4 that are close to the original color.  I need to study it some more.
