I guess I may have to stop by the local Sherman-Williams and see what they have! p.s. while we are at it anybody remember what the color is for the "Apple Platinum" machines (a la Mac IIs)?

BTW, for yellowed plastic, Printerworks suggests Sherman Williams poly-urethane paint, color S63EXH4300 On Mon, 22 Jan 2018, Ali via cctalk wrote: Fred is this the off white color of HP printers? At least close. It's what Printerworks says that they use to repaint the Fedex purple printers back to look like the other CX based printers. Check the details in the link on their site about how they convert the Fedex ones. http://www.printerworks.com/Catalogs/CX-Catalog/CX-Fed-Ex.html I assume that their goal is not necessarily to make them pass as HP, but to be close enough to look OK.
