Does anyone know what that almost "pearloid" finish is,
found on an
NC-183D, or the lighter shade on an NC-57B? Its not just a
color, it
seems to be a very lightly reflective finish. Its not a
hammertone, it
is a solid color. But it seems to have a depth thats
beyond just a
simple paint.
Any help would be appreciated!


THANK YOU for that information. I regularly restore
Nationals and
want to upgrade the level of paint finish. Will keep you
posted.

Interesting, I looked closely at a National
loudspeaker cabinet, the finish appears to be very slightly
"dappled" with spots that are very slightly darker than the
overall gray. I never really noticed this before although I
realized that there was something "different" about the
National paint.
