Speaking of ages gone by, does anyone recall any information about a
paint company called Rinsead-Mason (not quite sure about the spelling of
the first word). It was primarily an industrial paint company supplying
the automobile repair services. My father used it exclusively in his
auto body shop in the '50s.

Rinshed-Mason (Detroit)

Now goes as RM Paint and has been part of BASF for some time (20/30
years or more it seems??? -- anyways, it's been awhile.)

Well let's see what mr g can find--ok, yeah, here...
