Anyone know what tone of white I should paint
my Hallicrafters S-41W to match the original?
It looks like and eggshell-satin now but is riddled
with a greyish mold-like discolorization and thus
it is hard to be certain of the original finish.
After I get the shell re-painted I will need to
find someone who can provide replacement lettering/
silkscreen for a few dollars or use craft store
lettering and just find a replacement Halli. logo.
My plan is to wipe down the surface with a cleaning
agent, possibly bleach, in case the grey speckling/
smudging is paint mold.
Then very lightly rough the surface with a fine sanding
agent. Then wipe it down to remove grit. Then apply
two coats of spray paint.
Then I would like to add the lettering/silkscreen and
finally seal everything with a sprayed on clear coat.
WDYT?
