[Hallicrafters] HT37 paint

[James Liles]

The ACE spray paint comes with a rotatable feathering nozzle --- behaves 
like a paint gun.  I prepare the cases by doing a chem strip and bead blast 
using glass beads.  Doesn't wear the cases down but leaves a dull finish 
that will hold ACE's paint without a primer.  Success is when you paint and 
ship a P-2000 power supply and it arrives with the paint in tact knowing 
that the case had to have been bent as it is far too thin for a 65 pound PS. 
Lot of ways to do things ---- just don't have the experience with a 
commercial paint gun --- may try it some day when I have a volume job.  Till 
then, a great day to you and Kindest regards Jim K9AXN

I don't know about the color, it may be an excellent match.  Frankly, I 
don't like spray cans.  I much prefer an air compressor and paint gun.  But, 
obviously, many people don't have an air compressor and paint gun.  It is 
definitely possible to do a good job using spray cans.  However, you really 
have to take your time and be very careful as you apply the paint.

The chipping of the overspray is a risk but the Stone Grey Satin is a 
beautiful match.  Used it for years and seems to be very durable.
