K1/K2 Paint Color ?

[Ian Parker-5]

Hi,

I am building a few additional add-ons for my K1/K2's in there
respective matching enclosure. My metal work not being "perfect"
requires a bit of touching up here and there restoring the case to its
full glory.  

I am trying to find the color that matches the K1/K2 and a source of it!

I remember seeing this on the reflector before, but I just can't find it
now I need it - any suggestions?

Regards,
Ian

Just a few days ago a fellow asked the same question.  Elecraft sells the
touch up paint you need.  Just look through the parts pages on their web
site and you will find what you seek.

Ian;

There are two solutions to the problem. One is exact, the other is
awfully close. For touching up the K1/K2 etc. color, Elecraft sells
small amounts of the exact matching color. If, however, you are
building support boxes and want an awfully close match (but not exact),
Rustoleum Textured #7221 Dark Pewter spray paint comes awfully close. I
picked up a couple of cans at Home Depot for my projects. You have to
look really close to see a difference.

You'll find the paint behind locked gates, and be sure to bring your id
no matter what your age... (sigh - the joys of living in California...)
