Touch up Paint Recommendations

[Chuck Gehring]

Whoops,  I am working on making an External Speaker for my K2 with an EC2 Enclosure.  Metalwork is not my strong point.  Any way I am probably going to have to sand and repaint the entire front panel where I tried to cut out the opening for the speakers.  Can any one recommend a type and color of spray paint the matches the color and shade of Elecraft Gray?

Hi Chuck;

Get pewter color.  That is the closest I've found and I have painted a
cabinet with it and it looks very close.
To get a look at the cabinet I painted, have a look in the Elecraft pictures
archive or try the link at the end of this email and you'll see the power
supply/speaker cabinet I painted for my K1.

Hi Chuck,
    why not just use the  touch up paint that Elecraft sells  for any small
oops? or get one of the small sprayers you see at a hobby shops that has its
own little can of compressed air to recoat the front panel?
     btw I covered the front panel with a layer of masking tape when I did
mine... great for laying out where I wanted to cut and kept me from
scratching up the panel .
