: [Elecraft] K2 paint wanted
I have found that the Rust-oleum Automotive Primer spray can, number 2089 DARK
GRAY PRIMER, is a very close match for the K2 color. Note that the
2081 LIGHT GRAY version is too light. The 2089 goes on very dark, and is

It is readily available at
Another option is simply to buy replacement panels from Elecraft. Not
as cheap as paint but makes a well-used K2 look brand-new. That's what

I'm assuming you can spray the material yourself and don't need a spray

Here's my K2 setup. The box in the upper right is an EC2 clone I built and
painted with the Satin Gra
One other choice is any paint store or big box hardware store. They can
scan and custom mix the color with a high degree of accuracy. I've used
this approach on several occasions with good results.
I seem to recall that some paint specialty stores can make custom colors
in spray cans.
