I'm restoring my 1969 Roadrunner horn's and need to find a vender who sells the purple spry paint.

Totally auto has it.

Never heard of them, I'm in Delaware there not. IS this an on line company?

Years ago I mixed my own matching color for the horn. But Totally Auto color is good. Call them. 215-322-2277

I used a can of Testor's 1234 Purple model spray paint from a hobby shop. One can was enough to do one horn and to spare. Much cheaper - just saw a can for $3 plus shipping on line http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/Testors-Spray-Enamel-Paint-Purple-3-oz-p/rus-1234.htm

i did mine with:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Ole...-General-Purpose-Spray-Paint-249079/100670417
less than 4 bucks a can.

Hey, those are 2 good recommendations ! Who'da thunk ? A model train shop & home depot. I gotta remember that, so next time a nice-lookin' lady comments on my 'purple' horn, I'll tell her it's French Lilac :love4:

69roadr, how close is it to the original color?

Hi Frank, personally, i have seen so many variances in the RR horn color, that i really didn't take notice of how close it was. that's why i uploaded a pic of mine. i took mine down to the bare metal, primered it and shot it with the "French Lilac" and put a new sticker on it. here's one i found on google.

Ditto on the Rust Oleum from Home Depot, close enough for me!

Road runner horn refurbished, I used a wire wheel to take off the old paint. In the hard to get places I use a paint remover; once done I cleaned it with a neutralizer Primed it and sanded it will very light sandpaper. I used the Testor's 1234, it had a little more glosser then the French Lilac Satin. Overall not to bad I should have the stickers in by mid next week. Thanks everyone for your help.

Looks good! i don't recall, but was the sticker more than the cost of the paint? you got 2 horns there Frank?

frank · Sep 6, 2015

The Testor's 1234 was $5.00 for 1/3 of a can. I bought 3 cans and only used 1. When I bought the car back in 2010 it cm with the 2 horns. There's a problem with on f them it sounds like a deep truck horn. Do you if there's an adjustment on the horn? I sew a star screw but not sure what it's for.

What a tutorial that is fantastic. Thank you so much.

Question: what size rivets did you use?

idrivemopar · Sep 8, 2015

They are 3/16 width and 3/8 length.

frank · Sep 9, 2015

Thank you, I wish I would have had this information before the repaint, I would have done a complete tare down.
At least I have it now.

Thank "idrivemopar"
