OK Mike, youve convinced me as I have a RME 45 that needs a lot of help, Ive

come close to parting it out as Ive a near mint one now.

I think it's available in gray, and maybe a beige or tan. Perhaps other 
colors.  Check the Rust-Oleum web site to be sure.

If you need a color other than black, pick the lightest of the truck bed 
paints that you can find and then overspray that with a color of your 
choice.  This will of course make the finish thicker, but it also will tone 
down the sandpaper-like feel of the truck bed paint alone.

I did that using a product called "Stone Creations" -- an aerosol paint that

results in a much deeper wrinkle -- to refinish the panel and cabinet on an 
RME-45B receiver which originally was blue-gray wrinkle.  After first using 
a self-etching primer on the surface, I put on a wrinkle base with a very 
light cream stone color, then oversprayed this with a slate blue (as close 
as I could come to the original color).  This was followed by a clear 
overcoat. The "stone" wrinkle was so deep that the extra thickness of the 
following paints didn't hurt the effect.

The RME came out looking nice; but I believe the truck bed paint gives a 
considerably more durable finish.  I'd use the bed paint if I had it to do 
over.
