I enjoy repairing, and restoreing these radios, its no challenge for me if there not all jacked up.. But I do have my limatations .
We all can see the pride and energy you have put into these restorations. It's a great hobby!

What kind of paint are you using to paint the Zenith chassis?

I first use automotive self etching primer/sealer and then believe it or not Krylon hammered copper color for top coat.

Thanks Fred,
It sure looks like a real thing, not hammered paint, which is good.
The very first is an AK.
Without the RF chassis (lucky you!)
