Down
in one corner of the huge basement, my father had set up a
paint-mixing center for his auto dealership. I was never
exactly sure why this had to be done at our house, but maybe Ray Webb
over at the body shop just didn't have enough space available.
Anyone
in the family could mix lacquer or enamel. You'd find an index
card with the desired formula, pour the first color into an empty can
until the scale indicated the correct number of grams, then add the
proper amount of the second color, and so on.
