[Hallicrafters] Paint for HT-32A

I used Krylon "Semi-flat Black" to paint the cabinet on my HT-32 Mk.1. 
The unit is sitting next to my original SX-101A and on first look 
appears slightly glossier but on further examination doesn't really seem 
to be.

I got the paint at Wal-Mart more than five years ago so who knows.  I've 
noticed they don't have much of a color selection here any more.

On the glossy vs crinkle, my HT-32 has a smooth finished bezel and the 
SX-101A has the crinkle.  Could it be a generational thing?

I've never gone for a sprayer and custom mixed paints.  I'm sure it's 
more accurate and better looking but it's always more fun to buy another 
radio than to buy a tool.
