[Hallicrafters] Halli cabinet refinishing preparations

[Mike Smout]

Greetings 

I wont bother you with the details of how I refinished an SX-32 cabinet, but I was wondering if you would share some of your secrets with me as I will be doing another in the very near future.
After doing mine with paint strippers etc., I found myself cursing the day that I sold my air compressor and sandblasting apparatus. I take it that most of you go the bead blast route, then what? I've heard some of you go the way of powder coating, but can you match the Halli colours that way. I just ordered two cans of paint from Mike Shelton and wondered if they had the wrinkle effect? Please give me some hints, you guys are the masters and my mentors, I'm but a newbie. Thanks in advance. PS...still looking for those SX-28 dials, rf cover, rubber feet, and rear binding posts. 
from the land of twisted metal,
Mike Smout
