Re: [AMRadio] Original Ranger
I just finished up restoring a Viking Valiant and painted the cabinet flat black. It looks pretty good and was a lot cheaper that trying to match up the deep maroon that Johnson used. The only hard part of it was stripping the old paint off. Probably $5 in material to get a decent cabinet. 73's Greg WA7LYO Kinston NC - Original Message - From: Jim Wilhite w...@brightok.net To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2009 5:47 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Original Ranger I have heard others say what Bry told you. Don't know where you are, but a larger auto parts store should have that stuff in a spray can. It is a Pontiac color from 1959 IIRC. If you can find it in Dupli-Color all the better. The automotive paint they sell in cans comes with a nozzle that puts out a fan shape rather than the round pattern. Much better for things like you want to do. If you don't have any luck with them either having it, or ordering (NAPA is a good source) then you can take a chip at least 1 square to someone with a computer matching machine and get the formula. Again a larger auto parts store should be able as would a larger Sherwin-Williams store.

Re: [AMRadio] Original Ranger
Phil - I found the burgundy paint at an auto parts place with no problem about 3 years ago. It was a darn good match too.
