"DW Holtman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary,
Thank you for the info. I used the 777 paint and I really like the results. I sprayed three coats of an automotive filler/primer sanding with 600 wet paper betewwn coats then the top coat. I'm debating if I need to apply wax.
Thanks and 73's

The 7777 is a "Satin" finish, which has some sheen to it. It's not "flat" at all.
The R-4 was more like the 2-B, just a little more glossy than the later 4's. Personally I think 7777 would be fine for the 2-B. If you wanted a little more shine, give it a wax job and buff it up a little.

Is the Semi-Flat paint ie; Rustoleum 7777, also the right paint for the Drake 2-b and 2-C series equipment, or should they use a paint with more shine?
Thank you in advance.

Frank -
Rustoleum #7777 Satin Black does a very nice job. It is a low sheen black, appropriate for the 4 Line up through the B series. The C Line was powder coated and has more of a "spatter" type finish.
There is a good article on repainting at

although Mark uses a Krylon paint. Personally I prefer the Rustoleum, but you may like the Krylon better.
