[Hallicrafters] HT37 Paint

[ss409ss at aol.com]

   Thanks Glen,

  I am looking for a good match to the original color. I also saw that you mentioned in your notes on obtaining the flecking in the paint using another type of paint, I will give it a shot... Tnx Richy

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.

Does anyone know how close this color comes to the SR series? I am looking to 

refinish my SR-2000 cases. Tnx
