[Yaesu] paint question

Mon Sep 22 20:47:43 EDT 2008

Although not close enough to touch up the factory finish, if your going to 
do a repaint on any of the pieces here is what I have used in the past with 
great success on the older Yaesu line.
For the cabinet:
Rustoleum "Winter Gray" # 1982830
You can also find Winter Gray at Home Depot in a spray can as the Painters 
Choice brand.
For the trim ring:
Krylon # 1606, Pewter Gray Gloss
There used to be another guy that custom mixed and sold it online but I 
can't locate his website anymore, perhaps he doesn't anymore. If your 
familiar with eBay have a look there too. There is a guy that mixes and 
sells spray cans of paint for Collins, Yaesu, Heathkit, you name it. Not 
always listed, but now and then he has them up for sale.
