Default Hallicrafters Repro Paint

I use the same and they work out great and are not expensive.

Hi Jim,
I've seen/heard most of the comments so far before. Here's my
solution, well tested by me and others. I have repainted several SX-101,
SX-115, and HT-32 cabinets, most needed it. They definitely looked much
better when done, and several other boatanchor guys have seen them and
agree they are a very good match to whatever was new. New varied by month
and year, so what it was 40-50 yrs ago is anyone's guess.
For the cabinet, I use Rustoleum V7777 Satin Black. It's great for
these units, and Drake 4-line cabinets.
For the perforated lid, I use Duplicolor Truck and Van Paint #T 229
Silver M. I think there may be a later no. now used for the same stuff,
and there is another mfgr with one almost as good, would have to search
for both no.s.
There are techniques for helping the finish come out best, drop me a
note & I'll dig up some info I've had luck with.
