tx750 special interest site

Back in the spring of 1997, Bill Johnsen took a side cover from his 1974 model TX750 to a local body shop and had them scan it with their new "Prophet" computer system. This software looks at the finish and creates a formula in either Dupont or Ditzler base coat clear coat systems. He sent me the label from the paint he used to paint his 1974 model TX750. Following is the formula used for the Ditzler paint that is on the 74s. The actual paint was Deltron by PPG.

The label read EXACTLY as follows:
