Title: National NC-183D paint Post by: kq6xy on May 23, 2024, 03:27:19 PM I just restored a National NC-183D and now it is very sensitive and sounds amazing.
However, the previous owner repainted it a blue color with 3 Civil Defense sticker on it so I would like to repaint it to the original color or at least close to it. I know there was a boat anchor paint site but it appears to be gone now so if anyone has a source or recommendation for paint I would appreciate it. 73, de Larry, W6YH Title: Re: National NC-183D paint Post by: Carl WA1KPD on May 23, 2024, 06:10:43 PM Larry,
Are there any "unrefined" areas inside the cabinet, bottom? Take those to a local paint store, they can read it electronically and make you some custom spray paint, Title: Re: National NC-183D paint Post by: WD4LUR on May 24, 2024, 08:02:46 AM I asked about this subject back in March and W3JN replied with this link.

If you read through this forum you will see pictures of a NC-183D that a guy painted with Seymour cast-iron gray paint. https://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3728303 Dan |
