TRAM D201 Paint Match Face plate and Top Cover

[Bradley]

Hi Guys,
got some paint match news i found some spray can paint to match the D201 its a very close match the picture I'm showing is with natural light from window near by.

its Rust-oleum semi-gloss protective enamel Anodized Bronze # 7754830 bought at Home Depot in N.H. hopefully available near you.
on My D201A its very close too, i used a mag light flashlight with a bright white LED and noticed a Slight color difference but still very close
I got it to Paint a Freq. counter box I'm doing for external Radio top. I will post a pic here when box is done.
i Hope this helps with touch-ups or restorations

paint match update i painted the box yesterday and did a trial setup with sun shining on box this morning it shows a slight noticeable color difference as shown in second pic also note lack of semi-gloss its more like matte or flat finish, once paint fully cures ill try some auto polish to try to match radio luster. i hope.

Most any descent paint store these days can Match & Mix any color you would ever want or need.You get what you need mixed & put it in a paint sprayer & apply it.Small sprayer kits can be purchased for very little money & you will always have what color you need next time around.

Thanks Bradley, it's always nice to find a good ready source for paint like this. And Rustoleum is my favorite go to.

I'm confused... the first photo looks pretty spot on, but the second in your update looks pretty far off. What was the difference and did you get this sorted out?

Thanks!
