I am going to use what Continental Electronics uses on their B'cast transmitters - Sherwin Williams Polane (a Polyurethane paint) on the Bauer 707 I'm rebuilding. S-W can can mix any color take a sample piece down to them. Another choice is an auto bode paint supply like English Color Supply. I'm not sure if they're national or nor, but we have a whole slew of them in the DFW area.

Hi folks, The restoration of the BC-1H1 is coming to a close. I have most of the electronic repair and rewire finished, and I'm soon ready to start packing everything back into the case. Today, being a warm day for Feb. on the East Coast. I took the case, sides, and doors outside, and gave them a serious scrub and wash. I got of the decades of brown sauce that had adhered to every exterior spot, and all the black soot and dirt, removed inside and out. On inspection there are just a lot of scratches, rust spots, and generally bad places. I think the unit would benefit from a coat of factory paint. Now the big question: Where can one get that interesting "Sea Foam" greenish/grey Gates-Harris BC-1H color? Any hints, clues, or directions???
