Axle paint

[D-dub]

As a lot of you dont know, I work in skilled trades of SHAP (Sterling Heights Assembly Plant) that builds these trucks. I've spoken with the liaison for the axles and here's the touch up paint color that they use when they need to touch up a axle for whatever reason. This is a can the liaison gave me. I believe it can be purchased at Home Depot. Just a little tip from me to the members who like to keep up on these little things.

Yep. At $1.38 a can, it is the cheapest spray paint money can buy.

Only the best when you spend $60 - $70k for a truck.

I'm sure it is. However, that's what they use.

$1.38 a can. What's in it? Toxic waste!
Somebody come across a stash of the "good old days" of lead and mercury and relabeled it?
That stuff worked great as a paint. Not so good for the painter and environment.
I shouldn't leave out the kids who ate the paint chips.

The paint chip eating is referred to as "Natural selection".
