[Heathkit] Paint Needed

[Glen Zook]

I believe that the HW-104 uses the same paint as the SB-104.  The SB-104 uses one of the 5 different colors used on the rest of the SB-Line equipment.  Of all the SB-Line colors the SB-104 color is, at least in my opinion, the "best looking" of all 5 colors.

You can find the Sherwin-Williams computer matched formula for this cabinet paint at

It is the color listed for the Heath SB-Line.  The formula is for 1 quart of acrylic paint which runs about $13 (at least in Texas).  You will need some sort of paint spraying rig unless your store just happens to be one of the few that can load spray cans.

Other paint companies can use the Sherwin-Williams formulas to produce a matching paint.

I am starting to restore a rather "seriously used" HW-104 and need a source for the blue-green paint used on the cabinet. 
 
I am new to this list, so bear with me as I learn the ropes.
