Default Heathkit Paint

Hello,
I have some Heathkit cabinets to repaint. Hr-1680, HX-1681, Speaker and
PS-23. I'm trying to find a source for paint. I've be working Google but
all the leads I find are out of business.

Does anyone of a source for Heathkit matching paint?

Thanks very much,
Ed

There a chap on Ebay that sells repro Heathkit spray paints that should be
what your need. He lists under ham receivers I think. I have used his
products and have been satisfied.

Here is an article that you can read.

Most paint stores or auto paint shops have computer color matching -- that
is quite good. Some of the larger stores can even load this paint into
spray cans (the eBay seller mentioned just provides this as a service --
already done).

That's the method of acquisition I use. Its the textured finish that's
a problem.
