Johnson Ranger paint

[Al Parker]

Hi Al,
    Dupli-color Auto Spray
  DS GM 353 DARK RED M
  BAR CODE: 26916 13353 3
is what I've used for my Viking 1, bought at NAPA, in small, 5oz  cans. 
Slightly metallic, but very nice looking.  Several yrs ago I tried getting a 
Ranger (I think) cabinet matched, with no luck at several computer match 
places.  One past cabinet had  been done in a brownish hue, it really looked 
bad.
  Also, from my archives, " it is common knowledge GM7191 is a good match 
for the maroon paint Johnson used on their cabinets and the majority of 
their front panels"  not sure who said that, or if it's the same stuff.

I was wondering if the cabinet of a Ranger I is the same color as the 
brownish-maroon on the front panel. The one I am trying to restore has had 
the cabinet repainted black, or pretty close to it, so I can't tell. I 
bought some of the Rustoleum Kona Brown #1977 that was mentioned in one of 
the mod pages online, but it is a little lighter color than the front panel.
I could use it on the cabinet if it is normal for it to be slightly lighter 
than the front panel. Otherwise, I should probably look for a darker color 
paint.

Thanks,
Al, WA2AS
