[GreenKeys] Paint used on Creed 7E et. al.

[Bruce Gentry]

The name for the paint here in the US is "Hammertone" .  The European 
formula gives mottles that are larger, and the paint thickness is 
greater. The  American formula tends to have smaller mottles and is a 
thinner coat.  I believe the paint is laquer with metallic powder in it 
to give a deep and iradescent appearence, and silicone oil is added to 
create the mottles.  I am also interested in  touching up some European 
gear, in my case a Rhode & Schwarz receiver. Maybe some list members in 
Europe can elaborate, and hopefully, lead you to a supplier.
