[Hallicrafters] Halli paint

[Al Parker]

Hi,
I agreee, it'd be nice to "get it right" but sometimes we have to settle
for close.
    We all don't have a decent Sherwin Williams store nearby, or any other
place that can match stuff.  The S-W store here is useless, no
matching/mixing capability.  The auto paint suppliers have tried to match
Hammarlund Super Pro & SP-600  panels for me with no success, there's a
little green in some I guess, and something throws them off.  I have
gotten St. James gray mixed at Ben-Moore (I think) with somebody's recipe,
it's OK.  But I've not had good luck here doing what Glen does.  IIRC, his
primarily supplies industrial users.  I wish we had a decent S-W store
closer than 50+ mi. away.  (and we're not out in the middle of nowhere)
