Finally got this unit downstairs and was able to diagnose my own
question about the paint.
It appears that someone had overpainted the cabinet gray rather than
attempting a true restoration to the original color.
At the TMC web site I noticed both colors but the blue/green is the
color I remembered.
Today I removed a patch of the overspray and see the original beneath.
It would appear that it is baked enamel and fairly impervious to
solvents. The closest I've come so far is a craft acrylic made by
"Liquitex", the color is #310 Payne's Gray. I will be experimenting
with that color. It's a bit darker but might be able to lighten it
some.I plan to "fix" the large rusty patches with a wrinkle paint then
over spray with the Payne's Gray.
End of story except if anyone has found a closer match please advise.
