[Boatanchors] Globe Scout 65 and Globe Scout 65A Cabinet Paint.

[Paul Kraemer]

Lee
I recently refinished a cabinet destined for a Chief 90A
I used RustOleum hammered finish in the silver / gray color
While not exactly same as the I remember the 90A I started with in 58 it was 
very close and the end user was very pleased with it.
The RustOleum finish is a bit touchy. Too little and it is just silver / 
gray paint.  Too much and it looks like it was "hammered to death".  Took me 
two tries to get it right even though I practiced on a scrap first.
