[NJARC] Help with Hallicrafters Paint

[Joe Devonshire via NJARC]

Greetings from Maine,
 
    I've taken on restoring a Hallicrafters SX-42 that  I picked up.  
Fortunately, it's in pretty good condition in all  regards.  It does need the be 
recapped, and a good cleaning, but otherwise,  that's it.  This SX-42 looks 
very good on the outside.  The inside has  the usual crud on the chassis.  
 
    One thing I would like to restore is the paint on  the Band Spread 
Bezel.  The paint on it is flaking off.  Depending on the version that was 
manufactured, the bandspread bezel was  either black or the color of the front 
panel.  From what I've been able to  find, the front panel was either a light 
blue or a shade of olive drab and with  some brown mixed in.  This is not 
your typical off the shelf color.
 
    Of course the front panel I have is the olive drab  -  brown with the 
bezel the same color.  The purest in me wants to  restore the bezel to the 
original color.  Can anyone offer any thoughts on  how I might be able to 
replicate this color?   Unfortunately, I don't  have Kuker-Haney   ( 
http://kuckerhaneypaint.com/sb.cn )  close by to make me a can of spray paint.  
 
    This radio is probably in the middle of the  production run with the 
following found on the radio:  Serial   HA-68218 and on the back of the front 
panel is a date code:  45 DEC 20  1948?  The 8 wasn't pressed onto the panel 
completely.  
 
    Does anyone have any thoughts on what to do?   Cosmetically there isn't 
much I need to do other than this and clean the  chassis.
 
Thanks.
