  This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the combined Schedule 14D-1
Tender Offer Statement and Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 28, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated
July 8, 1999 (collectively, as amended, the "Statement"), by Littlejohn
Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Parent"), Parent's
wholly owned subsidiary, LPIV Acquisition Corp., a Michigan corporation (the
"Purchaser"), and Purchaser's wholly owned subsidiary, LPIV, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("LPIV"), in connection with the offer to purchase
all issued and outstanding shares of common stock, without par value (the
"Shares"), of Durakon Industries, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the
"Company"), at $16.00 per Share (the "Offer Price"), net to the seller in
cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which,
together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute
the "Offer"). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase and the Statement.


Item 6. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company.

  Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following language thereto:

  The Offer expired at midnight, New York City time, on Friday, July 23, 1999.
The Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the
Offer. The Purchaser has been informed by the Depository that 5,995,120
Shares, representing approximately 98% of the issued and outstanding Shares,
were tendered pursuant to the Offer (including 34,922 Shares subject to
guarantees of delivery).

  On July 26, 1999, subject to the terms of the Offer, the Purchaser accepted
for payment all of the Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the
expiration of the Offer. Following completion of the Offer, there remain
approximately 130,000 Shares outstanding. Any Shares not tendered pursuant to
the Offer were converted into the right to receive $16.00 per Share in cash
upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the State of Michigan in
connection with the merger of the Purchaser with and into the Company (the
"Merger"). Payment for the Shares will be made by the Depository. A copy of
the press release issued by Parent on July 26, 1999, announcing the expiration
of the Offer and completion of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(9)
and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 10. Additional Information.

  Item 10 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following language thereto:

  On July 26, 1999, Parent issued a press release, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit (a)(9) and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 11. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding by adding the following:

(a)(9) Text of Press Release dated July 26, 1999, issued by Parent.
