Schedule 13D filed by TBK Partners, L.P.("TBK"), a Delaware limited
partnership and dated September 24, 1998. (collectively the "Joint Amendment
No. 2").  The filing of this  Joint Amendment No. 2 should not be deemed an
admission that TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt comprise a group within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Act").

      This Joint Amendment No. 2 relates to the Class A - Common Stock, no par
value (the "Common Stock") of Lilly Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), which,
to the best knowledge of the persons filing this Joint Amendment No. 2, is a
company organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive
offices located at 733 South West Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46225.

     This Joint Amendment No. 2 contains information regarding shares of
Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC.  Such shares
are held in the accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it
has investment discretion and sole or shared voting power (the "TBC
Accounts").

     Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, TBK and
Vanderbilt, there has been no material change in the information set forth in
response to Items 1,3,4,6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended.  Accordingly,
those Items are omitted from this Joint Amendment No. 2.

          Other than as set forth herein, to the best knowledge of TBC, TBK and

Holdings is Two International Place, 23rd Floor, Boston, MA 02110.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

       (a)  As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of an aggregate of 1,510,353 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes
approximately 6.61% of the 22,844,053 shares of Common Stock which TBC
believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The
TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts.

      As of the date hereof, TBK beneficially owns directly 85,650 shares
of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.37% of the 22,844,053
shares of Common Stock which TBK believes to be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding.

       As a result of the disposition of 14,100 shares of Common Stock in open
market transactions, Vanderbilt does not beneficially own directly any of the
shares of Common Stock.

      Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial
owner of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts.  The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC, TBK
and Vanderbilt could be deemed to be the beneficial owner as of the date
hereof, is 1,596,003 shares, which constitutes approximately 6.98% of the
22,844,053 shares of Common Stock, which the filing persons believe to be the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Nothing contained
herein shall be construed as an admission that TBC is the beneficial
owner of any of the TBC Shares.

       The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with
respect to which each of the Members of TBC who are also TBK General Partners
and Vanderbilt General Partners, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner by
reason of their being a Member of TBC and a general partner in TBK and
Vanderbilt, respectively, is 1,596,003 shares, which constitutes approximately
6.98% of the 22,844,053 shares of Common Stock outstanding.   However, nothing
contained herein shall be construed as an admission that any of the TBK
General Partners or the Vanderbilt General Partners is the beneficial owner of
any shares of Common Stock, except as set forth herein as expressly and
admittedly being beneficially owned by a particular General Partner.

       Each of Thomas H. Shrager, Robert Q. Wyckoff, Jr. and Holdings, by
reason of its position as a TBC member, may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of 1,510,353 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately
6.61% of the 22,844,053 shares of Common Stock outstanding.  However, nothing
contained herein shall be construed as an admission that any of the TBC
Members is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common stock, except as set
forth herein as expressly and admittedly being beneficially owned by a
particular TBC Member.

         Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of
Common Stock held by the other.  Except as described herein, to the best
knowledge of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt, no person who may be deemed to
comprise a group with any of TBC, TBK, Vanderbilt, or any other person
named in Item 2 of the Statement, beneficially owns any shares of Common
Stock.

    (b)    TBC has investment discretion with respect to 1,510,353 shares of
Common Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has sole power to dispose or direct
the disposition of all of such shares.  Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC
has sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 1,459,124 shares of Common
Stock held in certain TBC Accounts.

        Each of the TBC Members, solely by reason of their positions as
such, may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and
(ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 1,459,124 shares of Common
Stock held in certain TBC Accounts.

       TBK has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of and dispose or
direct the disposition of the TBK Shares.  Each of the TBK General Partners,
solely by reason of their positions as such, may be deemed to have shared
power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition
of the TBK Shares.

dispose or direct the disposition of the Vanderbilt Shares.  Each of the
