Could anyone recommend a spray paint that matches the light gray used by Hallicrafters ??

I have used a Krylon light gray primer, followed by a coat of Rustoleum Clear for a pretty good match. I will find the Krylon number and edit it "in".

ZW..not an expert here but I have restored a few Halli rigs and I used Rust-oleum Painters Touch 12oz spray in gloss..Winter Gray..to my eyes it is as close to an exact match you'll find..Home Depot for sure sells it..lots of places stock the Rust-oleum line anyway..last can I used was about a year ago so hopefully they still make it..??  gud luk!  73 de DAVE

Are you talking about the gray metallic (not really silver) used on the cabinet lids?  If so, there's a Chevy Duplicolor spray bomb that's pretty close - available at auto parts stores.  Has too much metallic in it for my tastes, but it's quick and easy and the Duplicolor goes on well.  Just make sure and prime/sand well before the final coats.

There's actually a Rustoleum color that is about dead nuts-on, but I can't remember the number. Pretty sure it's called 'Dull Aluminum' or something like that. As JN says, it's really not silver, and using silver will result in a really pimped-up bright result.

I do remember the black match, as it's a semi-gloss/satin finish black, #6666. I keep a few cans around because it works well on many different things.

I think that silver gray color is called Storm Gray, available at Advance Auto and others I am sure.
