Paint for S-40A

[Glen Zook]

I had the paint color on the S-40 series (also the S-85, S-86, SX-99, SX-100, etc.) computer matched at Sherwin-Williams a couple months back.  Turns out that the color is a "standard" and does not require any mixing.  The Sherwin-Williams exact color (and it was an "exact" match) for acrylic paint (much better than enamel, dries harder and cleans up with water) is

Low Sheen Black #6403-26047

This is for 1 quart which runs about $13.  Now you will require some sort of spray rig to use the paint.  If you don't have a compressor and paint gun then there are some pretty inexpensive systems available from Harbor Freight and several other outlets for around $20.  For any major jobs those are not really practical.  However, for an occasional "small" job like a singe radio cabinet they will do.
