[SEL] Ecomomy paint

[Glenn A Karch]

Ron,

Rust O Leum Regal Red (formerly IHC Red) is as offical as any red color for
an Economy engine.  Back in the days when your engine was built, there was a
guy with a barrel and a boat oar mixing ingredients to make the paint color
so it was not always consistant.  The Sears catalog stated that the Sparta
Economy engines were painted vermilion.  Can translate that and be exact?
