[ROVERNET - UK] Repaint

Sun Aug 5 18:44:00 BST 2007

I took a Brigade red panel to a top local paint supplier I have dealt with 
for 20 years, about 2 years ago; The laser scanner could  not come up with a 
match. Perhaps something has become available since then; I will try again; 
but 2 years ago, a true match did not exist. James
