[ICOM] Icom Handle/Paint

[Jim Hargrave]

Don't pass up the spray primers. I used primer to match the Yaesu and Icom
gray color. Just spray the primer and when its dry cover it with clear
spray. You can get the clear spray in both gloss, matte or flat finish. It
matches very well and the clear coat makes it very durable.

I use the same process for home brew boxes. Spray the matching primer. Add
the label decals or rub off lettering, then cover it all with the clear
coat.
