[Hallicrafters] Cabinet colors for re-painting SX 71

[Charlie]

The silver lids are a perfect match for a Dupli-Color General Motors "Silver 
Sand" paint.    Unfortunately, it only comes in little 6 Oz cans, but that's 
about enough to do 2 or 3 lids.

The black varies all over the map from satin black to metallic gray color. 
Just pick one that you like.   For the SX-71, I'd have Howard Mills powder 
coat it in satin black. You can contact him at:  w3hm at frontiernet.com
