[Hallicrafters] HT37 Paint

[Glen Zook]

There were slight variations in "tint" over the years even within a particular model.  The gray that I have had computer matched works very well for all of the light gray Hallicrafters units.  However, you cannot just "touch up" the paint.  There are way too many variables in how a particular "paint job" has aged.  Even items that were painted at the same time "age" differently due to sunlight, pollution, etc.

Also, when I have a paint matched I use an area that has not been subject to sunlight, etc.  Usually that is going to be where the paint has been "hidden" by the chassis, etc.  The paint is going to be what the unit looked like when new, not after 40 or more years of exposure to the elements.
