[Elecraft] K1/K2 Paint Color ?

[Jack Brindle]

Ian;

There are two solutions to the problem. One is exact, the other is 
awfully close. For touching up the K1/K2 etc. color, Elecraft sells 
small amounts of the exact matching color. If, however, you are 
building support boxes and want an awfully close match (but not exact), 
Rustoleum Textured #7221 Dark Pewter spray paint comes awfully close. I 
picked up a couple of cans at Home Depot for my projects. You have to 
look really close to see a difference.

You'll find the paint behind locked gates, and be sure to bring your id 
no matter what your age... (sigh - the joys of living in California...)
