[Heathkit] GR-81 cover paint color?

[Glen Zook]

I don't remember just what color the cabinet was on the unit.  However, if it was one of the "standard" Heath colors then you might find the formula from Sherwin-Williams on the following link:

My favorite thrift shoppe coughed up a real nice GR-81.   I replaced a frozen regen control. Checked and double-checked the wiring, touched up a couple of solder joints, replaced  a BB cap, tested the tubes and slowly brought the little set to life.    
 
Has anyone repainted the cover and ended up with a color match that was either a perfect match or really close?  If so, please let me know.  An internet search didn't help..I presume not many folks put any money into these guys.  My cover has a couple of boo-boos where the paint is chipped. Since these are the only noticeable cosmetic issues, I thought I would fill the chips and either retouch or repaint the cover.  I can take it down to Sherwin Williams but thought I would ask here first.
