Does anyone have, or know of, a business that will repaint and re-
screen faceplates for Heathkit SB Series amateur radio equipment? I
have an SB-401 with a faceplate that--no pun intended--could use a
facelift.

Concerning Heathkit paint, I know the signature green color actually
varied over production runs; however, was it always applied as a
wrinkle finish? I’ve seen pictures of SB Series equipment that, to
me, appear to have a matt finish.

Lastly, although the gray paint on the cabinet of my SB-401 is in
generally good shape, it could also use some sprucing up. I’m
wondering if a light overspray on the existing finish would work. Has
anyone tried this?
