Philip -
I've had good success for the "smooth" cabinet finish with Rustoleum
#7777 "Satin Black". The later cabinets were powder coated, which is
an entirely different finish. The "color" is ok, but the "spatter"
effect is a little harder to replicate. There are techniques to
"modify" the spray head to simulate the spatter effect, but this can
become a hobby in itself! I guess the question is if you want to make
them look good, or try to replicate the "original" finish.
If "original" restoration is your goal, Drake's original contractor,
Hartzell Manufacturing, will powder coat cabinets for a price. Last
time I checked, it was $25 per piece (two pieces per cabinet), plus $25
per order shipping and handling.

cabinet paint alternative to the original (close enough)
manufacturer's color (black). I believe it was a Rust-Oleum brand
spray paint. The paint's stock number was also provided. Does
anyone have info. on this? Thank you.*
