[Hallicrafters] Paint for HT-32A

[Roger (K8RI)]

There is a noticeable spread in the "black" and "silver" paints used. 
The grey (gray if you are under 40) ranges from what looks like a 
metallic flake to gloss gray.
I had some custom gray mixed as I prefer a spray gun with a good quality 
enamel, or 2 part acrylic to a spray can. I think if you take the 
cabinet in you will find custom paints available at most of the 
automotive paint supply places. (Not all of it is shiny)
