[ICOM] 781 cabinet color code?

[Mike Olbrisch]

The paint IS a semi-gloss - and that's the rub.  Flat or gloss - not so hard.

Good luck.  I guess my IC-R9000 will have a scratch till I die.  The kids can
fight over it - and my jeep I guess.  Won't much matter by then......

Molon labe. [mo-lone lah-veh] Google it...
