I imagine they'd have something in yellow, like what you're looking for.

Re: [drakelist] Metal Varnish Question
Most likely, it was clear when applied new by Drake, but has yellowed with age. 73, Duane At 07:43 AM 7/7/2008, you wrote: EP Swynar [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hi Guys, TESTORS paint company sells small spray cans of translucent / semi-clear paint, too...I bought two for a different project here years ago (mine are red)...

RE: [drakelist] Metal Varnish Question
Thank-you for the advice guys! I suspect the coating is either a yellowed varnish or gold anodized plating. If I find something that's a good match I will let you know. 73 Wade _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Duane Calvin Sent: July 7, 2008 10:25 AM To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Subject: Re: [drakelist] Metal Varnish Question Most likely, it was clear when applied new by Drake, but has yellowed with age. 73, Duane At 07:43 AM 7/7/2008, you wrote: EP Swynar [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hi Guys, TESTORS paint company sells small spray cans of translucent / semi-clear paint, too...I bought two for a different project here years ago (mine are red)...

[drakelist] Metal Varnish Question
Hi Drakelist The alloy chassis used in the Drake C Line series appear to have been dipped or sprayed with a light yellow-gold protective varnish or lacquer possibly to protect against corrosion. This is what gives the chassis a light golden appearance. Does anyone know of a distributor who supplies a similar type of metal varnish or lacquer? Wade VA3HM
