[Hallicrafters] Paint for HT-32A

[Paul Kraemer]

Glen
Have you purchased that Silver paint at WalMart recently?
I think I have been into and looked in every WalMart and Super WalMart this 
side of Dallas plus on-line. I am being told that it is no longer available.

I use acrylic paint from Sherwin-Williams which has been "computer matched". 
The "black" that Hallicrafters used on quite a number of units turns out to 
be a "stock" color (doesn't have to be "mixed") and is

Low Sheen Black #6403-26047

For the "silver" lid I have found that Color Place Aluminum #20012 is an 
excellent match to the original.  You can get the Color Place paint at 
Walmart.

For other "boat anchor" paint formulas go to

http://k9sth.com/uploads/Boat_Anchor_Paint_article.pdf

In that article there are listed the formulas that I have had computer 
matched over the years.  I use Sherwin-Williams because there is a store 
about 2 miles from my house and they do an excellent job of matching the 
paint.  However, just about any paint store can use the formulas to mix the 
proper color paint.

I am re-activating an HT-32A that I bought at Harrison Radio in NYC in 1959. 
There are a few scratches on the cabinet that call for a paint job. What is 
the best approach? Who makes a satin finish paint in the right colors?
