[HeathKit] Heathkit paint

[Paul K. Dean]

I would also comment that the wrinkle paint that Mike sells is excellent!
I've used both the brand he sells and Krylon's product and find Mike's to
be much better.  Be sure to follow the directions **carefully** and exactly
for a good wrinkle.

One word of caution.....  As with any paint job, surface prep, surface
prep, surface prep!!  I re-wrinkled a DX-100 cabinet only to find a large
scratch appear that I did not see prior to painting.  I re-stripped the
panel, filled the scratch with JB Weld, sanded and re-wrinked.  All is
fine, now.

My grandfather (rip) used to sell paint for a living.  He always told me
SURFACE PREP!!  (Sorry, grandpa, guess us "kids" always have to learn the
hard way.)
