[Boatanchors] Crackle or crinkle paint question...

[Gary Peterson]

I have an Eico, model 730 modulator.  It includes the optional E5 steel cover.  A previous owner repainted the cover orange.  Ugh. Yuk. Ick.  

I suspect the original, beautiful black crackle paint was stripped or sanded off before making this thing look like a rectangular pumpkin.

I plan to strip and repaint the cover with as close as I can match the original, rather shiny, black crackle paint.  When I was a novice, in 1960, I recall having good luck with black crackle paint made by General Cement.  A search of the GC website indicates that they no longer manufacture any such item.  

Does anyone on this list recommend a source of shiny, black crackle paint, based on personal experience?

Thanks in advance.

Gary
