Re: Red Swift reefers
Richard I was quoting the Sunshine flyer http://www.sunshinekits.com/sunimages/sun24a.pdf which states Swift reefers had black roofs. And the model photo in the flyer sports a black roof.

Red Swift reefers
Hello, For the red Swift reefers, is there a color that matches that the best? My friend wants to paint some undecorated cars in that color and we wonder which color would be the best match. Thanks
