SX-62 Front Panel Paint

[email protected]
 

Hello.? I'm new here.? I'm rebuilding a first run SX-62 with all the loctal tubes in the IF chain.? Anyway, I am going to repaint and re-letter the face due to it being scratched up.? Can anyone give me an idea what color gray the face is?? It looks to me to be like Navy haze gray or some variation of it.? If anyone can point me to something that is close in a spray can, I'd appreciate it.? I don't have anywhere around that can color match without having to drive 3+ hours so something from the local Ace or Lowes will have to do.

Thanks

Chris

Chris,

If all else fails, try Sherwin-Williams paint stores. Clean your panel with soap and water. Then take to S/W, they can scan several spots on the panel and mix an exact match.?

listening in with interest. Paint stors can match the color, but what about the matt-gloss characteristics and maybe what works on metal... Matching paint always seems tricky.

That is right,,, they can match the color not the texture.? The "blob" texture of the SR series is a good example and some of the old textured and wrinkle finishes take a little creativity to duplicate.

FORTUNATELY,, the SX-62 front panel does not fall into that category.

I never did the ‘62s front, but the other two colors were perfect matches of Plasti-Kote car paint… Auto Zone.? The gunmetal silver and grey were astoundingly right on..
